Hailing from Chicagoland, IL, Annie Park is a part-time student at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, part-time volunteer, and learning to be a part-time waitress. She began writing poetry in the Fall of '05 and has been less rueful in the meantime. Writing is a way of disclosing aspects of herself she can't express, and continues to watch the places it shows her along the way. She is currently working on becoming a person who knows where her keys are.
