Alice George earned a degree in English literature in 2006 and spent nearly twenty years working as a copywriter in pharmaceutical advertising. In 2023, she left advertising to care for her mother, who had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. She now works as a teacher’s aide to devote as much time as possible to her writing and her family. Her poetry often explores death and dying, the small Pennsylvania town where her mother grew up, and the uncomfortable intimacy of suburban life.
