Chris Wood is a wife first, a fur mom with to many puppies to trip over, and a writer who says, “numbers are my career, but words are my passion.” She works in property management, holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting, and writes to balance her left brain with her right.
Her work has appeared in several journals and publications, including Poetry Quarterly, Three Line Poetry, Haiku Journal, Panoply, and the American Diversity Report. She won second prize in the 2016 CWG Spring Contest for her poem, “Thus Your Life Grows,” and in June 2022, she won third prize in The Tennessee Magazine’s Poet’s Playground for her poem, “See Rock City.”
Her work also appears in two anthologies: Adult Children: Being One, Having One, & What Goes In-Between (2021) and Nothing Divine Dies, The Poetry of Nature (2021).
