Andrea Hollander moved to Portland, Oregon, in 2011, after living for more than three decades in the Arkansas Ozarks, where she was innkeeper of a bed & breakfast for fifteen years and Writer-in-Residence at Lyon College for twenty-two. Hollander’s sixth full-length collection is And Now, Nowhere But Here (Terrapin Books, 2023). Her fifth, Blue Mistaken for Sky, was a finalist for the Best Book Award in Poetry from the American Book Fest; her fourth, Landscape with Female Figure: New & Selected Poems, 1982 - 2012, was a finalist for the Oregon Book Award; her first, House Without a Dreamer, won the Nicholas Roerich Poetry Prize. Her poems appear widely in journals, magazines, anthologies, and textbooks, including a feature in The New York Times Magazine. Other honors include two Pushcart Prizes and two poetry fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2017, she established The Ambassador Writing Seminars, which she conducted in her home until the pandemic—now via Zoom.
