Madeline Brancel

Madeline Brancel grew up in rural Wisconsin and has since lived and worked in Brazil, Portugal, and Mozambique. She is at her most joyful when making unexpected friendships while traveling, dancing to jazz in her kitchen, and studying a new language. She now lives in Rhode Island and is pursuing a Master's in International Education Policy at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Madeline's approach to writing is to let poetry bottle up inside her until it erupts onto the page, usually in the afternoons when she should be working.
