Hester L. Furey is a poet and literary historian, a specialist in archival research and hidden histories. A native of south Georgia in the United States, she developed a rich sense of appreciation for the absurd from a very young age.

She began writing as a child, inspired by the journalists who investigated the Watergate scandal, her love of encyclopedias, and poetry's alchemical ability to transform personal experience into something of worth. She currently resides in Atlanta. See less
