Rose Maloukis, is a poet and visual artist, with a BFA from Wayne State University, Detroit, MI., who in 2015 found that her painted lines were turning more and more into written ones. She has since then: been shortlisted for an international award, won prizes from Geist and ARC, and been published and featured in The Fiddlehead. Her chapbook, Cloud Game with Plums was published in 2020 by above/ground press. Several of her recent line drawings, as concrete poems, are part of her (nearly completed) first full-length collection.
