BIO:
Along with Nikola's Dove (2023), Tracy Ross's books include Broken Signals, James Dean and the Beautiful Machine (Shanti Arts, 2018 and 2020), Relics & Rituals (Shanti Arts 2022) and Certainty of One—A Tale of Education Automation (Adelaide Press, 2018). Ross's first collection of genre bending short stories, Binary Logic (Between the Lines Publishing), was released in late 2022. She has been published in Memoir Magazine, Wayne Literary Review, Still Points Arts Quarterly, 34th Parallel, Sublunary Review, The Journal of Poetry Therapy, and Author Magazine. She has received a McKnight grant for her work from the Prairie Lakes Regional Arts Council and Grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board (2023). Living in Chicago, the Motor City, Minneapolis, and the Boundary Waters Forest area of Ely, Minnesota, Ross is both a city and country mouse, enamored with both the electric lights of city neon at night and the aurora borealis of the north country. As part of her research for her next poetry collection on Nikola Tesla, she sat in the rain and watched the lightning strike. Fortunately, she sat under a sturdy tree and finished the work. She is currently working on a project of non-fiction, incorporating memes in popular culture with the principles of self discovery, technology, and scientific innovation. When she is not writing, she is teaching and pursuing her PhD.
