Bio: 

Willa Schneberg is a poet, ceramic sculptor, interdisciplinary artist, curator and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, (LCSW) in private practice. Her new poetry collection, is entitled The Naked Room. The Naked Room, is a true synthesis of Willa’s life as a psychotherapist, and her life as a poet. These are poems of the unconscious, the dreamscape, the despondent, the unmoored and the mortal. She is the author of five prior collections, including In the Margins of the World; Storytelling in Cambodia and The Books of Esther, a letterpress chapbook produced in conjunction with the eponymous interdisciplinary exhibit, which was on view at the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education, (OJMCHE). Her poems are included in The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror Nineteenth Collection. She received two fellowships in Poetry from Literary Arts, Inc., residencies at Yaddo, MacDowell and Kathmandu, Nepal, and poems on the Writer’s Almanac.  In March 2023,, she spoke about The Naked Room at universities in Glasgow, Scotland. Her poetry has been translated into Hebrew, Arabic, Nepali and Korean.
