Brinson Leigh Kresge

Leigh is an MFA Fiction candidate and Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of North Carolina -- Wilmington.

 

She is captivated by the profundity within the mundane and the depths of human imperfection. Her experimentation with hybrid form and genre-queering arises from the desire to capture impermanence and interconnectedness in her writing. She strives to tap into an authenticity that reaches the groundwater of human experience-- one which acknowledges, but ultimately transcends, barriers of culture, identity, ideologies, and the stories we mistake as ourselves. 

​

Leigh’s poem “Lake Leavings” was published in 805 Lit + Art and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Her writing has also been published in Visual Verse, Found Polaroids, and has appeared in mixed-media art presentations in the United States and Osaka, Japan.
