Annelise Schoups is a multinational poet who laughs at her own jokes and writes about things that are mostly not funny. Her work appears in the San Diego Poetry Annual, Silly Goose Press, and december. You can find her in San Diego, where she plans thru-hikes with her partner, or on Instagram, where it's less weird to follow her, @anneliseschoups.
