REGAN good
Regan Good is the author of two chapbooks, The Imperfect (2005) and The Book of Nature (2009). Her poems have been called “weird Nature poems” that exhibit a “skeptical awe.” Poet Geoffrey Nutter wrote of the poems in the The Imperfect, “At times richly baroque, at other times modern as a new pin, associative and open-ended yet full of conviction, the poems here "compose a place from which to speak," building a vision of a world that is at once painfully cruel and unknowably gorgeous.” She has two unpublished full-length collections, The Atlantic House and The Needle, and is working on a third. She’s a graduate of Barnard College and the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. She lives in Brooklyn.
