Autumn
has read and performed her poetry throughout the Delaware
Valley. In 2002, she participated in the Philadelphia Fringe
Festival as part of the Wild Women, an ensemble of writers,
artists, and musicians. She currently hosts a monthly reading
series at Milkboy Coffee in Bryn Mawr, PA, for the Mad

nonprofit arts organizations. And when she's not doing either
of those things, she likes to bake, knit, and wander around
the city. Autumn lives in South Philadelphia with her husband
and two cats.
