Adriena Dame was born in Arkansas, and raised on the coattails of her father's Army dress blues and BDUs; her mother's canvases, paints, and macramé; and countless airways, highways, and new ways of experiencing the world. She is the author of The MOO, a collection of linked stories (March 2012), with works appearing in The Written Word, Women. Period., Tae Kwon Do Times, Bleach, Calypso, and other publications. She publishes a literary journal titled 94 Creations, has worked as the assistant managing editor for The Louisville Review and Fleur-de-Lis Press, and is a graduate of Spalding University's brief-residency MFA in Writing Program. Her social change activism is marked by her role as a board member for Kentucky Foundation for Woman, as the writing coach for Generation iSpeak, and as a founding teaching artist for The Experience School of Creativity. She is also a mixed-media jewelry artist, box maker, and collagist.
