A single mother of two boys and a blind and deaf pughuahua, Moriah Cohen teaches high school in a small suburban community. On weekends, she wades up and down the Jersey coast, casting for fluke and bluefish.  Her garden is currently fruiting tomatoes at an alarming rate. She prefers the most tannic of red wines.

In July, Moriah participated in Tupelo Press' 30/30 Project, fundraising for the press while writing a rough draft of a poem a day. You can check out that work here or donate to Tupelo Press by visiting Moriah's donation page.
