Maryann Corbett grew up in McLean, Virginia, and now lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. She worked for almost thirty-five years for the Minnesota Legislature. Trained as a medievalist and linguist, she holds a doctorate in English from the University of Minnesota. Though she wrote poems as a young person, she largely left creative writing during the decades when she did scholarly work, took care of a family, and worked full-time. One of her poems is included in The Best American Poetry 2018. She is the author of six books of poetry and two chapbooks. Her most recent book is The O in the Air.
