About Emily Stoddard
Long Stride is a letter of what ifs, experiments, and possibilities for restless (impulsive, neurodivergent, weird) thinkers. 1
I’m Emily, a writer and artist in northern Michigan. Some of my projects:
✷ Ironweed Arts — zines, printmaking, tools for creative attention
✷ Divination with a Human Heart Attached, a poetry book out with Game Over Books. My writing also appears in Kenyon Review, Belt Magazine, Writer’s Digest, Nimrod, The Baltimore Review, and elsewhere. I’m currently revising my next book, a collection of essays and hybrid (prose / poetry) pieces.
✷ Surfacing, a book of closing practices for creative writers
✷ Poetry Bulletin, a resource for poets, especially those submitting a book
