Based in Dearborn, Michigan and currently pursuing in an M.A. in creative writing, Keleigh Norman writes prose and poetry that is whimsical, yet deeply critical and thought-provoking. After losing everything they owned in 2005–including hermother’s beloved paintings–Keleigh has began writing and painting in an attempt to inspire her mom to begin creating again. In doing so, she developed her own passion for visual and written art, learning to exist and thrive through such mediums. She will be graduating from her program in December, 2022 and seeks to create stories that explore themes of “belonging,” “home,” and “solitude” through text and artwork.
