Summer J. Hart is an interdisciplinary artist from Maine, living in the Hudson Valley of New York. She is a member of the Listuguj Mi’gmaq First Nation. Her written and visual artworks are influenced by folklore, superstition, divination, and forgotten territories reclaimed by nature.
She is the author of the chapbook, Augury of Ash (Post Ghost Press, 2020.) Her poetry can be found in Waxwing, The Massachusetts Review, Northern New England Review, Denver Quarterly, and elsewhere.
At MacDowell, Hart worked on three projects. She completed the final edits, arrangement, and visual components for her forthcoming book, Boomhouse (The 3rd Thing Press, 2023); wrote a series of poems for her next poetry collection, tentatively titled, Bone-Hold; and designed 24 beading patterns for her solo show at The Parsonage in Searsport, ME, “Out in May, Back by October,” opening in May 2023.
