Juleigh Howard-Hobson

Juleigh Howard-Hobson is a Brave New Weird Award winner specializing in formal dark poetry. Her work uses traditional forms—in modern ways—to engage with mythic, numinous, and sometimes taboo themes, treating structure as an essential element of meaning.

The author of 6 poetry collections, her latest book is *Curses, Black Spells and Hexes: A Grimoire Sonnetica* (Alien Buddha Press) which is a working grimoire composed entirely in sonnets.

Her writings have appeared in hundreds of journals and anthologies, including Amazing Stories, The Deadlands, Non Binary Review, Noir Nation, Poetry Showcase 12 (Horror Writers Association), Fallen (Black Hare), Under Her Skin (Black Spot), Vastarian: Women’s Horror (Grimscribe Press); she has received nominations for the Pushcart Prize, Best of the Net, the Rhysling and the Elgin Award.

In addition to poetry, she occasionally writes fiction.

Born in England, raised in both the US and Australia, she lives in a congenially haunted Victorian with her husband.
