About the Author
January Gill O’Neil is an acclaimed poet, educator, and editor whose work explores the intersections of identity, family, and the human experience with profound lyricism and emotional depth. A professor of creative writing at Salem State University, she draws from her own journey as a mother to illuminate the joys and complexities of parenthood in her poetry. O’Neil’s editorial vision shines in her anthology The Long Devotion: Poets Writing Motherhood, which gathers diverse voices to celebrate and interrogate the transformative power of maternal bonds. Her writing has appeared in prestigious journals such as Poetry, The New Yorker, and Ploughshares, earning her fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Radcliffe Institute. Through her words, O’Neil invites readers to reflect on resilience, love, and the quiet revolutions of everyday life.
