Parallel Press Poetry Chapbooks

Aqua Regia

F.J. Bergmann is mostly from Wisconsin. She claims to have an MFA from the School of the Americas. She has no other connections to academia, but is kind to those who do. Currently she sells used books; in past lives she trained racehorses, illustrated a manual of interesting diseases, and was a rural postal carrier. Blame her for madpoetry.org, a local public-service poetry website, as well as her own site, fibitz.com.

Her Flash translation, “Lace” (fibitz.com/dentelle/lace.html), was selected for the 2002 Electronic Literature Symposium. In 2003, she received the Rinehart National Poetry Award and her chapbook Sauce Robert was a co-winner in the Pavement Saw Press competition. In 2004 she won the Pauline Ellis Prose Poem Prize. In 2005 she won the Rosebud Mary Shelley Imaginative Fiction Prize.

Her hairstyle is deceptive. One of her pseudopodia can reach all the way from the bedroom to the refrigerator. Her favorite authors all write speculative fiction.
