Clara Strong

Clara Strong was born in Virginia and grew up in New Hampshire and Indiana, both of which often feature in her poetry. She received her MFA from the Bennington Writing Seminars in 2020, and is presently working to finish her first collection of poems. Her work has appeared in Rascal, and has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. She lives in southern Indiana with her husband, their two children, and a handful of rambunctious chickens.
Poetry

Shearing Season (and other poems)

When the fleshy clefts healed
in the lambs’ ears, finely edged
with fur, I knew it was time
and grabbed a sheep by the leg.
