My name is Cole Hersey.

I am a writer and graphic designer in the Bay Area. I went to Bennington College where I studied literature and ecology. I have been published in small journals across the country and abroad, most recently in Parentheses Journal and The Eckleburg Review out of Johns Hopkins University. Currently I am working with the West Marin Review as an editorial assistant, and at Poetry Flash as an assistant editor helping to rebuild their new website. I am also working with Code & Canvas in San Francisco as a freelance art installer.

Anne Lamott once said of my work, "Cole Hersey is the real thing, a beautiful and observant writer on his way up. His writing is clear and evocative, visual and touching, with just a bit of edge, and a lot of soul."

Currently I am finishing a manuscript of short stories titled Elsewhere.
