Dawn Pichón Barron is currently the academic director/faculty of the undergraduate interdisciplinary Native Pathways Program at the Evergreen State College. She writes across borders and genres, while dreaming of ripe lemon sunrays at the southern tip of the Salish Sea–on the lands of the Medicine Creek treaty tribes and bands—with her wingman and Chihuahuas. Her chapbook, ESCAPE GIRL BLUES, was published by Finishing Line Press, 2018. Other work can be found at A Socially Just Classroom: Transdisciplinary Approaches to Teaching Writing Across the Humanities (2022), Echoes: An Anthology of Native Women Writers (2022), Moss, Pittsburgh Poetry Review, Washington 129 Poetry Anthology (2017), Of A Monstrous Child: A Creative Writing Anthology (2011), Yellow Medicine Review and elsewhere. Lately, she has been obsessed with adornments and fascinated by (reimagining of) motifs and mythical creatures used to demonstrate the continuity of shared time and space through culture.
