Thomas Ahneesan

Thomas Ahneesan is pursuing an MFA in creative writing; meddling with her favorites: poetry, hybrid and the lyric essay. She has worked previously as a journalist, writing profiles on local artists, events, and the music scene. She is also a local musician, writing songs and playing guitar with her brother. Her poetry explores Native American mixed-blood identity, the camaraderie that can be found in poverty, and intergenerational trauma with healing humor & tenderness. She is working on her first book of poems, entitled RUIN EVERYTHING. She writes columns for Cultural Daily under the auspices of her manager, Chiwan Choi, from essays & reviews to woo-woo ghost stories.
