Vanessa Query, a self-proclaimed prosaic dilettantish jack-of-all-trades gadabout, was born and raised in Rhode Island (she misses the oysters). She lives, works, and does artsy things in Yellow Springs, Ohio, but her heart is in Clones, County Monaghan, Ireland (she misses the mud).

Some things she enjoys: Jennifer Saunders, the Dill Pickle Club, Johnny Eck, early rock, writing, seriously amateur filmmaking, producing, reading & watching lots of movies & (good) TV and justifying it as research, being a foodie & volunteering on a CSA, yoga, hiking, biking, post-structural anarcha-feminist carnival-chic bog-gothic black-comedic spectacle-surrealism, dragonflies and stick figures and spirals and colors and shady black & white and Mark Morford on a sensate rant and Greta Garbo pronouncing the letter “n” and shucking oysters…
