Rebecca Schumejda's Biography

Becky

Currently, I live in New York's Hudson Valley with my husband and our daughter. I teach English at an alternative high school and run a billiard hall with my husband.  Basically, my daughter's the boss of me.

My poetry has appeared here and there over the years. Most recently, sunnyoutside press published my chapbook "Dream Big, Work Harder" in November of 2006. In 2001, Green Bean Press published my chapbook The Tear Duct of The Storm. What seems to be a lifetime ago, I co-edited a small press zine, reuben's kincaid.  Most recently my work has been published by: Lunatic Chameleon(currently posted), remark. (June issue and August), Spent Meat (April and July), Underground Voices (May), and WordRiot (July).  

I was born and raised on Long Island. I moved around, but ended up back in New York, this time landlocked, my view mountains instead of waves. I received my BA in English from SUNY New Paltz and my MA in Poetics and Creative Writing from San Francisco State University.
