About Me
Welcome to the website of Jonie McIntire
My first two chapbooks were Beyond the Sidewalk (NightBallet Press, 2017) and Not All Who Are Lost Wander (Finishing Line Press, 2016). My third chapbook, Semidomesticated, was the winner of the Red Flag Poetry 2020 Chapbook contest, originally released in March 2021 and re-released through Sheila-Na-Gig Editions in July 2022.
My poetry has been published in Waterwheel Review, North of Oxford, Gasconade Review, Khroma, Malarkey Books, Dissonance Magazine, Women Speak - Women of Appalachia Anthology, and in many other journals and collections. My work has been nominated for Best of the Net and Pushcart Prize and has even been stamped into cement in Toledo, Ohio as part of the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo's Sidewalk Poetry series.
I host a monthly poetry reading series called Uncloistered Poetry, which has been going strong for eleven years.
