Allisonn Church was born in a small rural community to a mother who pinned butterflies in glass cases and hid scarab beetles in her jewelry box. She earned a BA in English and Russian Languages and Literature from Brandeis University, where she focused on British Romanticism and Russian Futurism. Bolstered by the work of her honors thesis, “Vladimir Mayakovsky and the Language of Consciousness,” she is fascinated by phenomenology and the symbiotic relationship between language and experience. She has been mentored by Grant Chemidlin at PocketMFA.
Allisonn spends her free time reading, meditating, caring for animal companions, and finding stray poems hidden in tussocks of moss.
