Constance Brewer is a writer, poet, and artist who writes novels (mostly fantasy), essays, and poetry. She was born and raised in upstate New York where she spent many years gathering educational degrees. While teetering on the brink of permanent studenthood, Constance received this message at the bottom of a cup of Ramen noodles. “Get a real job”. She joined the military and served in the US Army Corps of Engineers, alternately building and blowing up things for her country. A retired Captain, she has an aversion to camouflage but still likes the color brown. When not juggling multiple writing projects like live grenades, she enjoys weaving and printmaking. Constance has a BFA and MFA in Fine Art, and a BA in Philosophy, which explains her extensively odd blog posts on various topics. She is the editor/owner of the contemporary poetry magazine, Gyroscope Review, owner of Gyroscope Press, author of the poetry book Piccola Poesie: A Nibble of Short Form Poetry, and co-author of the chapbook Prayer Gardening (Kelsay Books).
