Emily Lake Hansen is joining Minerva Rising Press as our new Poetry Editor. Emily is the author of the chapbook The Way the Body Had to Travel (dancing girl press, 2014). Her poetry and essays have appeared or are forthcoming in Nightjar Review, Atticus Review, Stirring: A Literary Collection, The McNeese Review, and Dressing Room Poetry Journal among others. She received an MFA in creative writing from Georgia College & State University (GCSU) and has served as an English instructor both at GCSU and Georgia Highlands College.
Emily’s poetry explores what it means to be a woman in this world and she is committed to uplifting women’s stories in the face of a writing world that still too often diminishes them.
We are so excited to have her as part of our team.
