HI! My name is Erin Adair-Hodges and I’m a poet. I’m the author of two collections of poetry—Let’s All Die Happy (winner of the Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize) and Every Form of Ruin — and a current visiting professor at Rockhurst University. An educator for over 20 years, I have deep experience in developing curriculum and designing powerful educational experiences. I’m also a developmental editor who has worked in everything from poetry (obvs) to commercial fiction, memoir, and more. Born and raised in New Mexico, I now live in Kansas City with my family where I’m doing a deep dive into instructional design and writing a novel.
