Audrey Colasanti

Audrey Colasanti is a former award-winning advertising copywriter turned photographer/poet.
Much of Audrey’s poetry reflects on her perspectives of untypical parenthood and searching for meaning in everyday encounters with nature and urban living. She writes about everything from the smell of hospital rooms to wanting to eat a lilac bush. Audrey’s photography is whimsical with a definite urban bent and design eye. She does not shy away from photographing the macabre, unusual or just plain fanciful. Colasanti has been shortlisted for the Anne Sexton Prize For Poetry and the Sandy Crimmons National Prize. She was also a semi-finalist for the 2020 Walt Whitman Award/Graywolf Press and long-listed for the Poetry Society 2020 National Poetry Competition. Colasanti’s poems have been featured in The Earth Journal, Wingless Dreamer, Button Eye Review, Inkwell Literary Magazine, Tiny Seed Literary Journal, MPR Minnesota Public Radio, Humana Obscura, amongst others. Her debut poetry manuscript ‘green’ will be published by The Black Springs Press
Group/UK in the Fall of 2022. It is currently up for pre-sale on Barnes & Noble and Amazon. You can follow Audrey at acolasanti.com
