Author's Bio

Pris Campbell has been published in numerous journal and anthologies. She has been nominated seven times for a Pushcart Prize. She's not able to do readings or teach workshops for health reasons. Eight books/ chapbooks have been published by the small press. The next one, Truth and Other Lies, comes out from Nixes Mate in March,2022. A former clinical psychologist, PhD from the University of Illinois, she worked in St Louis, Hawaii, Rhode Island and Boston before traveling down the east coast for six months in her 22 foot sailboat. Her book Sea Trails, is based on that trip. Hit by ME/CFS in 1990, a debilitating neuroimmune illness, she leads a much quieter life now in SE Florida with her husband, vagabond shoes saved for the next wanderer.
