Christie B. Cochrell's work has been published by Catamaran, Orca, Cumberland River Review (with a Pushcart Prize nomination), Lowestoft Chronicle, Tin House, and a variety of others. Chosen as New Mexico Young Poet of the Year while growing up in Santa Fe, she’s traveled far and wide since then, and recently published a volume of collected poems, Contagious Magic. Living and writing by the ocean now in Santa Cruz, California, she loves especially the play of light, the journeyings of time, things ephemeral and ancient.
