Anna E. Fullmer is a Library Assistant at Cleveland Public Library in the Youth Department, slinging story times and songs about the ABCs. Once upon a time, she was the lead singer of a band, but that was back when bands played shows. She writes songs, poems, and to-do lists. Her work is forthcoming in Rat's Ass Review.
