Annie Grimes (she/her/hers) is a writer from Conway, Arkansas. She received her MFA in fiction from the College of Charleston in 2024, where she was the recipient of her program’s Outstanding Student Award. Her poetry is featured or forthcoming in Rattle, Mudroom, Frozen Sea, and elsewhere. Her fiction can be found in New Delta Review.
She also serves as a fiction reader for Black Fox Literary and a poetry reader for Sontag Mag.
She is the proud mother of a tuxedo cat named Petunia, and when she’s not reading or writing, she’s probably covering Alanis Morissette’s “Hand in my Pocket” at her local karaoke bar.

Annie is featured in Gather’s second annual print anthology of selected poems.
This collection features over 100 poems from Gather’s community and contributors.
