Erica Hunt was born in New York City in 1955. She is the author of Jump the Clock (Nightboat Books, 2020); Veronica: A Suite in X Parts (selva oscura press, 2019); Piece Logic (Carolina Wren Press, 2002); Arcade (Kelsey Street Press, 1996); and Local History (Roof Books, 1993). Of Local History, which was re-released in 2003, Charles Bernstein writes, “Hunt’s resonant and elegant reworking of prose as a form for poetry reflects her social commitment to an ethical writing practice that exuberantly interrogates its own expressive potentialities.”
