Elizabeth Hughey
“Birmingham has always been home to me, although I have left this place many times thinking I’d never return. I guess I’ll call on Robert Frost for help — “Home is the place where, when you go there, they have to take you in.” ”
Elizabeth Hughey is the author two poetry collections: Sunday Houses the Sunday House (University of Iowa Press, 2007) and Guest Host (National Poetry Review Press, 2012). She is a co-founder of the Desert Island Supply Co. (DISCO), a literary arts center in Birmingham, where she teaches poetry in the public schools.
