Emily Unwin (she/her) is the co-founder of Finley Light Factory and tacky! Magazine. Emily works as a freelance editor, yoga teacher, and eating disorder dietitian in Athens, GA. She’s a poet and writer who studied poetry and narrative history under Natalie Eilbert (Indictus) and currently apprentices under Amy Bonnaffons (The Regrets). Her poems intersect mind-body connection & queerness, combining her passion for somatic healing with storytelling and the physical shape of a poem. Emily has upcoming publications in The Magnolia Review and Crack the Spine, and she was a finalist for the Cuttyhunk Writers’ Residency with Chen Chen. She’s currently completing her third novel, a literary auto-fiction set in the intersections of Atlanta and small-town Georgia, giving new insight on what it means to be queer and searching for embodiment in the Deep South.
