Colette Love Hilliard is a writer and high school English teacher from St. Louis, MO.

​

She is the author of the blackout poetry book A Wonderful Catastrophe (Wood & Water Press, 2018) and the maker of several other manuscripts that she hopes to one day share with the world. In the meantime, she's dropping crumbs in literary journals. 

​

When she's not obsessing over how to describe the way a sparrow builds her nest, she's snuggling her pup or hiking trails with her hubby.

 

She hopes her work inspires others to be creative and kind.
