Hannah Elliott is a poet, playwright, and instagram user from Hollywood, Florida. She recently relocated from Brooklyn, NY to Minneapolis, MN where she started the online publication and quarterly literary magazine TextPost POETRY. Her work thinks about abjection, second language, humor, nostalgia, tweeism, and American idolatry. The magazine is her attempt to figure that list of things out once and for all. She has been published in Dream Boy Book Club, Hot Pink Mag, and Moral Crema, but her medium of choice tends to be the humble story post.
