Alana M. Kelley (b. 1993) is a writer and visual artist from Buffalo, New York. Kelley holds an A.A. in Fine Arts and a B.A. in English, with a Visual Studies minor from the University at Buffalo. She experiments with contemporary subject matter while respecting classic romanticism, producing interdisciplinary poetic forms, often producing new-wave literature that reflects as thread-poetry, micropoetry & alt poetry. Kelley actively explores the interdisciplinary fields of environmental philosophy, psychology, and ecopoetics, studying the way in which human behavior and emotion interplay with both the natural and the built environment; how we are drawn towards places of intimacy and of unknown. Her current studies lend themselves to dissecting the realms of deep ecology and environmental ethics that emerge when approaching the intersectionality of humanism and naturalism.
