Julia Ludewig is a learner, teacher, and traveler with hearts on two continents. She teaches German and Environmental Humanities at a small liberal-arts college in Pennsylvania. In both her academic and her poetic life, writing is her way of thinking with a keyboard. When she is not writing, she dabbles in Salsa and Bachata dancing. She is oddly infatuated with ironing. Her work appears in Midsummer Dream House, Meat for Tea, Scribeworth, The Coachella Review and others.
