Collier Nogues writes at the intersection of digital and documentary poetics. Her poetry collections are the hybrid print/interactive The Ground I Stand On Is Not My Ground, selected by Forrest Gander as winner of the inaugural Drunken Boat Poetry Book Prize (2015), and On the Other Side, Blue (Four Way, 2011). Her scholarly work explores 21st-century experimental poetic forms and practices oriented towards the commons, with an emphasis on how poetry can make connections across decolonial, demilitarization, and climate activisms.
Dr Nogues’s work has been supported by fellowships from the MacDowell Colony, the Ucross Foundation, Vermont Studio Center, The Frost Place, Lingnan University, and the Hong Kong Research Grants Council. Her writing has appeared in Jacket2, ASAP/J, The Volta, At Length, Jubilat, Pleiades, Massachusetts Review, the Academy of American Poets’ Poem-A-Day Project, and elsewhere. She serves as an Examiner of Literary Arts & Publication Grants for the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and has served as a creative writing pedagogy consultant for the Hong Kong Education Bureau and for Writing-Plus. She leads poetry workshops in Hong Kong secondary schools in partnership with the Cha Writing Workshop Series. She is a core collaborator in Document: New Art & Writing about Place-Based Histories, and edits poetry for Juked.
