About
Lisa Bellamy is the author of the poetry collections Wonder Body (forthcoming 2027) and The Northway. Her chapbooks are Bee Frequency (forthcoming 2026) and Nectar. She has received two Pushcart Prizes, a Fugue Poetry Prize and a Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror Special Mention. Her work was selected for The Pushcart Book of Twenty-First Century Poetry and Prose, as well as for literary journals and podcasts. "It's Only the End of the World," a United Nations Network on Migration exhibition, featured her poetry. Currently, she is writing fables, and researching American hermits and mystics for a new poetry collection.
Bellamy is a Writers Studio teacher and studied with Philip Schultz, the school's founder and director. She graduated from Princeton, where she studied religion and anthropology, and is enrolled in Tergar International's meditation teacher program, under Mingyur Rinpoche's direction. She hopes to bring that work to writing classes and other learning groups. Previously, she was a researcher -- most recently on the Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church's staff. She lives in New Jersey and the Adirondack High Peaks with her spouse, photographer Peter Bellamy, and family.
