Carrie Etter: Bath, United Kingdom; I am an American poet resident in England since 2001. Previously I lived in Normal, Illinois (till age 19) and southern California (from age 19 to 32). * My first collection, The Tethers (Seren, 2009), won the London New Poetry Award, and in March 2010 the anthology I edited, Infinite Difference: Other Poetries by UK Women Poets, was published by Shearsman Books. My second collection, Divining for Starters, came out with Shearsman in February 2011, while my third, Imagined Sons (Seren, 2014) was shortlisted for the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry from The Poetry Society. Individual poems have appeared or are forthcoming in Boston Review, The New Republic, The New Statesman, The Times Literary Supplement and many other journals. * I also publish reviews, most recently in The Guardian, Poetry London and The Warwick Review, and short fiction, with appearances in New Welsh Review, Oblong and Flash. * I am a senior lecturer in creative writing at Bath Spa University, where I have taught since 2004.
