Poet and artist Noelle Bowden

An "elegy for [Western] landscapes and, indeed, for nature as we know it."

Noelle Bowden is a recent graduate from Eastern Washington University, having earned a BA in Creative Writing and a BFA in Fine Arts. She grew up in Spokane and is currently an artist-in-residence at the Spokane Public Library's creative space, The Hive, where she is working on a series of abstract paintings in relation to a collection of poems that she plans to self-publish.

Her work is heavily influenced by the cyclical seasons of nature, ephemerality, the structure of language and all things abstract.
