LGBTQIA+ artist, former Key West Poet Laureate, and NEA and MacDowell Fellow, Flower Conroy’s the author of Snake Breaking Medusa Disorder (NFSPS’s Barbara Stevens’ contest winner), A Sentimental Hairpin, Greenest Grass (Lynx’s House Press’ Blue Lynx Prize winner), and the forthcoming Zoodikers: A Bestiary (winner of the Tampa Review Richard Mathews Prize). Conroy has also led workshops at/for The Studios of Key West, La Romita School of Art, Write Here, Write Now, and others. In addition to care-giving and free-lancing editing, Conroy is working on a series of Ephemeral Altars—impermanent assemblage art pieces that visually evoke and celebrate poetry collections—which can be found on social media.
