Author's Bio

Milla van der Have (1975) wrote her first poem at 16, during a physics class. She has been writing ever since. Her work has been published in literary magazines, both in the US, UK and Latin-America. In 2016, she debuted with "Ghosts of Old Virginny" (Aldrich Press), a chapbook about Virginia City, Nevada. Her second chapbook, "Avistamiento de Ballenas" (51GL0 V3NT1Dó5), a bilingual collection in Spanish and English, followed in 2021. Milla's latest work, "Ox and Mandarin | Wayfaring Strangers" (Dancing Girl Press, 2024), delves into surreal poetry, with a Spanish translation published by Ril Editores. Based in Utrecht, The Netherlands, she curates "Poetry Lit!", an international online reading series held every second Friday of the month.
