"Elizabeth Treadwell's writing, in which human figures appear amidst fantastically embroidered surfaces, demonstrates volubility, humor, and intelligence in spades"--Joyelle McSweeney. Treadwell is the former director of the Small Press Traffic Literary Arts Center at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco and currently edits two online poetry magazines, Delirious Hem and Thimble.
