Stefania Heim is the translator of Geometry of Shadows, the Italian poems of Giorgio de Chirico. She has received a translation fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts as well as a fellowship to attend the ViceVersa Translation Workshop from Translation House Looren for her work on de Chirico. She is the author of the poetry collections HOUR BOOK and A Table That Goes On for Miles; and a contributing author to Midwinter Constellation, a radical experiment in poetic collaboration that responds to Bernadette Mayer's epic-in-a-day, Midwinter Day. With Catherine Gander, she is coediting Beyond Ourselves: Contemporary Poets on Muriel Rukeyser. She lives in Bellingham, Washington, where she teaches at Western Washington University.
