Clare Rossini has published three collections of poems, the most recent of which is Lingo (The University of Akron Press). Her poems and essays have appeared in journals and anthologies such as The Paris Review, The Kenyon Review, The Iowa Review, Ploughshares, Poetry, and The Best American Poetry series. The Poetry of Capital, an anthology Rossini co-edited with Benjamin Grossberg, was published by the University of Wisconsin Press in 2021. Rossini currently serves as Artist-in-Residence in the English Department at Trinity College in Hartford, teaching creative writing courses and directing an outreach program which places Trinity students as mentors in Hartford public school arts classrooms.

All forms are refreshed in Rossini’s incomparable vision, and something futher—they are given the rare, gold brushstrokes of hessed, the compassion that allows us to re-see the world we think we see, as if history might yet find a way to love us.
