about
Annabelle Fern Praznik is a poet, educator, and editor based in Colorado. Her work blends personal narrative with spiritual inquiry, exploring themes of recovery, trauma, and motherhood through a speculative, hybrid lens. Her poetry is formally inventive, often composed in syllabic lines, and grounded in embodied storytelling.
She holds a BA in English Literature with a concentration in Creative Writing from Colorado State University and an MFA in Poetry from the University of Colorado Boulder. A former university instructor, Annabelle now designs and leads writing workshops rooted in recovery, poetics, and voice.
Her editorial services reflect a deep commitment to care, craft, and creative agency—particularly for those navigating silence, transformation, or nontraditional literary paths.
Outside her writing and editorial work, Annabelle is active in her twelve-step program, sponsors women in recovery, and is completing her recovery coach certification. Her work and life are led by a quiet pact with her younger self—to love what she loved, to go after what she once believed impossible, and to live beyond the shadows of addiction and trauma—while raising two children in a world alive with music, language, beauty, and the ease of belonging.
