Yvonne Strumecki

Yvonne is a classically trained opera singer from Vero Beach, Florida. After getting her undergraduate degree in vocal performance from Stetson University, she spent a year singing in Europe. Yvonne has sung with Sarasota Opera, Light Opera Works, and Bowen Park Opera. She also spends her summers singing with the Grant Park Chorus in Millennium Park.

Some of her favorite authors and poets include Hemingway, Tolkein, Neruda, Shakespeare, and Chicago local Jen Lancaster. Favorite books include The Lamentable Journey of Omaha Bigelow into the Impenetrable Loisaida Jungle by Edgardo Vega Yunque, Wicked by Macguire, and the Harry Potter series. Yeah, she's kind of a dork.

She is also a lover of all things Ikea, outdoor grilling, pop culture, and at one time was also an accounting major. She has now finally settled into this great MFA world of writing with a non-fiction concentration (though she's finding she also has a poetic soul).
