Miranda Trimmier is an essayist who lives in Milwaukee and has also made homes in Minneapolis, New York, and Tucson. Each place shapes her writing, which pays attention to the everyday ways that history shapes bodies and landscapes. This work has appeared in Places Journal, Terrain, The New Inquiry, Boom California, and other outlets; in 2020, her essay collection Strange Machinery was shortlisted for the Graywolf Nonfiction Prize. Miranda has taught creative writing at the University of Arizona and Marquette University and now works as an independent editor and book coach, among other odd jobs. Since 2022, she’s co-directed the Infinite Text Collective, a mostly digital space for critical-creative writing, with Paige Sweet. Recent teaching forays include writing-as-notcing workshops with the Land Restoration School and courses on hybrid writing at the Brooklyn institute for Social Research, and soon a press project, New Drumlin, will carry all this experimentation into the publishing space.
