Gennarose Nethercott

Gennarose Nethercott, author of her debut novel Thistlefoot, is a writer and folklorist whose projects are all rooted in myth and what our stories reveal about who we are. Her book The Lumberjack's Dove was seleced by Louise Glück as a winner of the National Poetry Series. She tours nationally and internationally, performing strange tales, sometimes with puppets in tow, and composing poems-to-order for strangers on an antique typewriter with her team, the Traveling Poetry Emporium.
