Melissa A. Chappell

I  am a writer living in the southeastern United States on land my family has owned for six generations. Besides writing, I am a pianist and a vocalist. I make attempts at the guitar, and the lute. I have been published in the Harbinger Asylum,  A New Ulster and Ethos Literary Journal, for which I wrote a book review for Claudine Nash's The Wild Essential. One of my poems also appeared in the anthology Epiphanies and Late Realizations of Love by Transcendent Zero Press. My first chapbook, Rivers and Relics and Other Poems, was published in 2018 by Desert Willow Press, and my current chapbook, Light, Refracted, is being published by Finishing Line Press. Visit me at my new blog, Native Noise: Observations from the Southlands. (www.nativenoise.one).
