Long Stride is a letter of what ifs, experiments, and possibilities for restless (impulsive, neurodivergent, weird) thinkers. 1

I’m Emily, a writer and artist in northern Michigan. Some of my projects:

Ironweed Arts — zines, printmaking, tools for creative attention

Divination with a Human Heart Attached, a poetry book out with Game Over Books. My writing also appears in Kenyon Review, Belt Magazine, Writer’s Digest, Nimrod, The Baltimore Review, and elsewhere. I’m currently revising my next book, a collection of essays and hybrid (prose / poetry) pieces.

Surfacing, a book of closing practices for creative writers

, a resource for poets, especially those submitting a book

This project’s name comes from my own long stride and a moment in “Flight Risk,” an essay of mine that was published in the Kenyon Review: “On the way to the party, I enjoy how the outfit moves in sync with the stride of my long legs. I let myself have all of the stride. I like the weight of the hat on my head. I like how I feel at scale within myself: not too big and outside of myself, not too small and inside of myself.”
