Joan Hanna was born and raised in Philadelphia and now lives in New Jersey with her husband, Craig. When not procrastinating on social media Joan writes poetry, nonfiction, and fiction. She also writes a pretty good review and likes to ask tough questions in interviews, which she is convinced is going to turn back around on her one of these days.

Her current editorial passions are: Assistant Editor, Nonfiction/Poetry for r.kv.r.y. Quarterly Literary Journal, Assistant Managing Editor of River Teeth, A Journal of Nonfiction Narrative and former Managing Editor for Poets’ Quarterly.

Joan’s poems have appeared in The Ohio Poetry Association’s publication, Common Threads, the inaugural issue (online and print versions) of Rowan University’s publication, Glassworks, the 15th Annual Poetry Ink Anthology and in the Stand, Speak, Empower pamphlet for Sexual and Domestic Violence Awareness published by The Center for Family Services and SERV (Services Empowering the Right of Victims) April 2011.

Her nonfiction story, Breathing, appeared in the Shorts on Survival section in the October 2010 issue of r.kv.r.y.

Joan’s book reviews and interviews have appeared at r.kv.r.y. Quarterly Literary Journal, Author Exposure, The Ashland University MFA Blog and Poets’ Quarterly.

She is currently expanding her short, Burn, into a novel and looking for a publisher for her full-length poetry manuscript that, like a true unruly child, doesn’t seem to like any of its assigned names.

Joan is an Adjunct Professor of Creative Writing at Rowan University and holds an MFA in Creative Writing, Poetry and Creative Nonfiction from Ashland University in Ohio.
