Anne Holub
I’m a writer and poet and my last name means “pigeon” in Slovak.
I was recently named as the 2024 writer-in-residence at the Yellowstone Art Museum in Billings, Montana. I’m a full-time freelance writer in MT and I fill my days in stunned disbelief that bald eagles literally fly over my backyard and mountain lions are a risk to backyard chickens. I love to type poems on demand on vintage postcards at events around town. My poetry has been featured on Chicago Public Radio, Yellowstone Public Radio, and publications both online and in print, including the anthology Bright Bones: Contemporary Montana Writing (Open Country Press 2018). My debut poetry chapbook, 27 Threats to Everyday Life, was published by Finishing Line Press in 2023 and was a runner-up in the press’ New Women’s Voices Competition. Originally from Charlottesville, Virginia, and after more than a decade in Chicago, I now live, write, and keep my side of the street clean in Montana with my husband Dan, two dogs Merle and Rosie, and a sourdough starter named Rhonda.
