Rebecca Evans

Rebecca Evans is a Pushcart Prize-nominated essayist and poet who writes the difficult, the heart-full, the guidebooks for survivors. Her debut memoir in verse, Tangled by Blood, bridges motherhood and betrayal, untangling wounds and restorying what it means to be a mother. She teaches high school teens in the Juvie system through journaling and visual art. Rebecca is also a disabled veteran, weaving disability, military experience and Jewish heritage throughout her work. She co-hosts Radio Boise’s Writer to Writer show.

She's earned two MFAs, one in creative nonfiction, the other in poetry, University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe.

She’s co-edited an anthology of poems, When There Are Nine, a tribute to the life and achievements of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Moon Tide Press, 2022). Along with her full-length poetry collection, Tangled by Blood (Moon Tide Press. 2023), she’s authored a collection-length poem, Safe Handling, (Moon Tide Press, 2024) and a flash essay collection, AfterBurn (Moon Tide Press, forthcoming, 2026).
