Emma DeLaRosa graduated from Boston University with a major in English and a minor in philosophy. She grew up on the New England coast, living in both Rhode Island and southeastern Connecticut, so she has a special place in her heart for the beach. When it comes to writing, she loves to explore different styles but ultimately gravitates most toward experimental poetry. The most rewarding part of writing for her is bringing it to life, as she did with a play she produced. Her favorite authors are James Baldwin and Clarice Lispector, with her favorite book being The Passion According to G.H. by Lispector. Outside the realm of writing, Emma is a lifelong musician. She plays piano, guitar, bass, and sings in four different bands, so you can often find her performing live throughout the Boston music scene.
