Biography

Candra Lowery is a third-year MFA candidate in creative nonfiction and core writing instructor at the University of New Mexico as well as the managing editor for Blue Mesa Review. Drawing from the oratory traditions and redneck lore of her high plains upbringing between Oklahoma and Texas, Candra’s creative nonfiction is voice-driven and often irreverent, exploring intergenerational trauma, addiction, poverty, and every type of grief. You can find her work in Quarter After Eight, Strait-Up Magazine, and Conceptions Southwest.
