  • Michelle Rogers: My bio. I dislike bios, not bios as in organic life/growth, bios as in that one Polaroid I take of myself while brushing my teeth or running into a glass door or slurping milk from a cereal bowl as my grandma showed me to do when I was 5. (Believe me when I say it’s not easy to do these things while simultaneously holding a camera). Bios. Almost as bad as walking into a room of mirrors, not that I’m afraid of mirrors or my own reflection, just afraid of what my reflection says while I’m not looking. Michelle Rogers. Born in the wee southwest corner of Georgia, raised among creatures resembling pine tree nymphs, though larger and holding onto fewer teeth. Now residing in Asheville, NC as book herder, music exchanger, and eavesdropper.
