Christie 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, and has won several awards. Chosen as New Mexico Young Poet of the Year while growing up in Santa Fe, she’s recently published a volume of collected poems, Contagious Magic. She lives by the ocean in northern California—too often lured away from her writing by otters, pelicans, and seaside walks.
