Brenda Coultas is the author of A Handmade Museum (2003) and The Marvelous Bones of Time (2007), both published by Coffee House Books. She is the recipient of the 2004 Norma Farber First Book Award for A Handmade Museum, a Greenwald grant from The Academy of American Poets, and a 2005 fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts. Before becoming a poet, she was a farmer, a carny, a taffy maker, a park ranger, a waitress in a disco ballroom, and the second woman welder in Firestone Steel's history. Her poetry has appeared in numerous magazines, including Conjunctions, Epoch, Fence, The Brooklyn Rail, The Denver Review and Open City.
"Equally at ease in the city and the country, Brenda Coultas is a spiritual archaeologist of dumpsters and farm fields, an observer of the derelict and everyday folks. Her vivid voice is like no other I have encountered, and the originality of her work is matched by the genuine wisdom of its perceptions." --Bradford Morrow
