Autorenporträt

Abigail Carl-Klassen is a writer, researcher, poet, educator, and translator. She is the author of Shelter Management (dancing girl press, 2017), Ain't Country Like You (Digging Press, 2022), and Village Mechanics (FlowerSong Press, 2025), winner of the Inaugural Bougainvillea Poetry Prize. Her poetry was a finalist for the Maverick Poetry Award in 2021. Abigail earned an MFA from the University of Texas El Paso's Bilingual Creative Writing Program and taught at El Paso Community College and the University of Texas El Paso. During her formative years in rural West Texas, Abigail often listened to people describe what life was like in Mennonite colonies in Mexico during tumultuous times of change. These years, these stories and people, inform her creative and scholarly work with migrant workers, Mennonite communities in Mexico and Texas, social workers, homeless communities, immigrant communities along the US-Mexico border, and Central American migrants and asylum seekers in Mexico. Abigail lives in El Paso, Texas, with her husband and two children.
