​Gillian Devereux received her MFA in Poetry from Old Dominion University and directs the writing center at Wheelock College, where she also teaches creative writing. She has written two chapbooks: Focus on Grammar (from dancing girl press, 2012) and They Used to Dance on Saturday Nights (from Aforementioned Productions, 2011). Her first full-length collection, To Feel Sleep Coming​, will be published by Coven Press in the fall. Her work has been published in numerous journals and in the anthology A Face to Meet the Faces (from University of Akron Press, 2012). In 2010, her poem "Under the Big Top" was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. People like to repost her poem "Things That Are Not Magic" on Tumblr or their blogs. This does not make the internet magic. Gillian likes robots, knitting, small woodland creatures, film noir, gin, and the library.
