Larissa Nash is an alumna of Loyola University New Orleans. She currently resides in the dusty, neglected outskirts of Austin, Texas, though she yearns for the sea or a secret pool in the forest. Her work is forthcoming or has appeared in Dinosaur Bees, Fortunates, and Red Poppy Review. She is the founding editor of Rose Red Review, and she hopes to pursue an M.F.A. in Fall 2012.
