Angela Chaidez Vincent writes poetry and fiction and has a background of livelihoods in engineering, mathematics, and computer programming. Her debut poetry collection ARENA GLOW (June 2024, Tourane Press) features poems about women with a daredevil oblique: rodeo queens, female gladiators, romantic scientists, and board game assassins. Outside of teaching in the sciences, she offers science-infused creative writing workshops, most recently as an instructor for the Kenyon Review Young Writers Workshop. Angela's work has appeared in Oxford Review of Books, North American Review, 32 Poems, Atticus Review, and Bellevue Literary Review, among others. She lives in Fresno, California with her wife, Lisa, and is online at angelachaidezvincent.com.
