Leila Chatti is a Tunisian-American poet and author of Deluge (Copper Canyon Press, 2020) as well as four chapbooks. Her second full-length collection, Wildness Before Something Sublime, is forthcoming from Copper Canyon Press in Fall 2025. She lives in Cincinnati.

This project is made possible with funds from Columbus State University’s Carson McCullers Center for Writers & Musicians and Arts Alive, a regrant program of ArtsWestchester with support from the Office of the Governor, the New York State Legislature, and the New York State Council on the Arts.
