Bio

Lindsey Schaffer is the author of City of Contradiction (Selcouth Station) and Witch City (dancing girl press). Her work has appeared in or is forthcoming from The Minnesota Review, Superstition Review, Reservoir Road Literary Review, and elsewhere. Lindsey has received scholarships and fellowships from the Indiana Writers Workshop, AWP, the City of Bloomington, and the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University. She serves as a poetry editor for Variant Literature.

Her interests lie in seeking to understand material culture in the context of the cities in which it is displayed. Through this process, she has unearthed contradictions that have culminated in two chapbooks. Both of these chapbooks explore the tensions between the myths and realities of the cities they are based in.
