Lori Anne Gravley lives with too many stringed instruments. She grew up in Niceville, FL; earned her MFA in El Paso, TX; and now she lives either in a 1963 Avion Travel Trailer in Pennsylvania, in Tucson, or in her camper van on the road in the Americas. She has been nominated for a Pushcart and Best New Poets. You can hear her interviews with poets and her recordings of poems on WYSO.org where she served for five years as the co-producer of the local poetry program, Conrad's Corner. 

​

She's taught poetry and writing throughout the United States in community colleges, prisons, universities, libraries, elementary schools, public parks, and high schools.  A long-time practicer of yoga, she's an RYT-200 with a specialty in Trauma Sensitive Yoga.  She has taught yoga classes and incorporated yogic principles into her classroom teaching since 2013.​

​

In addition to poetry and essays for adults, Lori writes fiction and poetry for children of all ages, from picture books to young adult.
