"My father was a writer. You would’ve liked him. He used to say that artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up."

-Evey Hammond from V for Vendetta


My birth-given name is Courtney, but I write under the name Anomie Still. I’m currently attending the University of Iowa, studying English and International Studies. I hope to attend the Writer's Workshop one day, and am currently taking classes in the undergraduate program.

Along with writing, I spend my time reading, looking up obscure things on the internet, running, rolling burritos, doing yoga, and exploring interesting places. I celebrate culture, diversity, and life, and I'd like to find a way to absorb all of it--or maybe just integrate myself with it entirely--but I haven't figured out how to do that quite yet. If you have something you'd like to chat about, don't hesitate to get in touch.

My latest poem, "Tree of Life", is accompanied with a voice recording of me reading the poem, as the piece was intended to be more of a spoken word than anything. If you'd like to hear it, just click...
