Author: Melinda Coppola

Melinda Coppola penned her first poem—about the color pink—at the tender age of eight. Her relationship with writing was mercurial for decades, but once she learned that her blood type is, in fact, poet, she settled into a kind of quiet cohabitation with her muses. Melinda’s work has been published in many fine books, magazines, and journals including Spirit First, Third Wednesday, Willows Wept Review, and Thimble Literary Magazine. Her first full-length book which centers on raising her daughter who has special needs is due out Fall 2025 from Kelsay Books.
