Aubrey is from a small town on the shoulder of the San Bernardino Mountains. Her poetry is informed by land that wants to quake and catch fire. It is also shaped by time spent in Palestine, where she learned to revere the land as kin. A longstanding concern in her work is the human-land interface. She’s interested both in attempts to “settle” land by subduing forces of nature and also untamable eruptions of wildness that resist all constraints.

Aubrey is a graduate of the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College where she received the Ellen Bryant Voigt Scholarship. Her work has appeared in New American Writing, Spillway, Hole in the Head Review, and is forthcoming in Epiphany Magazine. She lives in Los Angeles and co-hosts Briefly Here, a monthly reading series.
