Emet North has lived in a dozen states over the past decade and has no fixed residence, though they feel most at home in the mountains. In previous lives, they’ve worked in an observational cosmology lab on a grant from NASA, taught snowboarding in Montana, researched Lie algebras, led wine tastings, waited tables, trained horses, and written a thesis on the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. They translate from Spanish to English with a particular focus on queer and trans voices and are always looking for new projects.

They have an MFA from Johns Hopkins and a BS/BA in physics & philosophy from Brown University. (Full disclosure: they were a highly mediocre physicist.) They’ve also received support from the Clarion Writers’ Workshop, Tin House, Bread Loaf, and Aspen Summer Words.
