Washington DC native Judith Harris (judithharrispoet.com) is a nationally acclaimed poet and scholar, having taught at several DC universities and published poems in The Nation, The Atlantic, The New Republic, Slate, The New York Times blog, and many other widely read venues. Her research, like her poetry, explores “…a [certain] willingness in the poet to atomize the ego…within the language of trauma…so that it gets lost in this curious strangeness that is consoling.” -Canadian Journal of Psychoanalysis
