Francesca Abbate earned her MFA from the University of Montana and her PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where she was poetry editor for Cream City Review. Her long-poem Troy, Unincorporated (University of Chicago Press, 2012) retells and refracts Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, uprooting and relocating its characters and themes to rural Wisconsin late in the 20th century. Her poems have appeared in numerous journals including Poetry, Field, The Journal, and Iowa Review. She is an associate professor at Beloit College.
