Clare is a Louisiana-based poet and artist.

Crone, her book-length poem, was released by Nixes Mate Books in 2018. Clare’s second collection, Seek the Holy Dark, was the 2017 selection of the Louisiana Cajun and Creole Series by Yellow Flag Press. Her debut collection of poetry, Eating the Heart First, was published by Press 53.

Clare’s poetry has appeared in Thrush Poetry Journal, Poets and Artists, and Louisiana Literature, among others. In 2015, she founded MockingHeart Review, an online poetry magazine.

Each success, no matter how small, in the practice of what I love is a lightning strike against the dark.
