Emma McVeigh is a poet, performer, and multi media artist based on occupied Duwamish land in Seattle, Washington. Her sound work engages in ekphrastic conversations between Word and Field while her writing explores landscapes of sound, water, and touch.

Her debut chapbook, Folly, is forthcoming from Milk & Cake Press in December, 2025.

Her work has been published in Silly Goose Press, Clamor, Bluebird Anthology, Ancient Technologies Newsletter and most recently in Instruction Manual for a New Era by the The Pacific Northwest Conceptual Art Center (a conceptual art project). She co-curates the semi-regular poetry series, “A House Reading,” with Amy Hirayama.

Her artistic influences include the work of Dao Strom, Eileen Myles, CAConrad, Jena Osman, Mary Ruefle, Claudia Rankine, and many others.

She has an MFA in Creative Writing and Poetics from the University of Washington Bothell and works as a barista and care worker in the Seattle area.
