Jessica Rae Bergamino writes poems about soft-hearted robots, ghost-hunting witches, and hard-as-nails mermaids. Her award-winning full-length collection of poetry, UNMANNED, was published by Noemi Press in 2018, and she is the author of multiple chapbooks from Sundress Publications and dancing girl press. Individual poems can be found in journals such as Third Coast and Black Warrior Review, as well as the Academy of American Poet’s Poem-a-Day. After growing up next to the Atlantic Ocean, she moved to Seattle as an adult and loves calling the Puget Sound home.
