Sharony Green

In the late seventies, Sharony Green used her dad's Selectric typewriter to write her first short stories. She still has the originals. Rusted paper clips hold them together. She cringes if her eyes scan even one sentence on those browning pages. but having them do make her smile.

She is the author of Cuttin the Rug Under the Moonlit Sky: Stories and Drawings About a Bunch of Women named Mae (Anchor/Doubleday, 1997) and Aunt Better's Day Work (Bumblee Books, 2023), a children's book.

Her poetry appears in the The Southern Poetry Anthology: Volume X, Alabama (Texas Review, 2023) and Teaching Public History in Alabama Creatively: About (Public) Face (Routledge, 2024).

Her nonfiction books include The Chase and Ruins: Zora Neale Hurston and Honduras (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2023).
