Julia Blumenreich is the author of Meeting Tessie, Artificial Memory, Blue Angel of a Day, and The What of Underfoot, and her poems have been published in a number of journals including o-blék, Central Park, Aerial, and Chain. Julia also served as one of the founders and editors of 6ix, a poetry journal based in Philadelphia.

A recipient of a Pennsylvania Arts Council Fellowship for her poetry, Julia has read her work widely at a variety of venues, including The University of Pennsylvania, Temple and Brown Universities, The Cleveland New Music Festival, and Small Press Distribution in San Francisco. She collaborated with the visual artist, Wendy Osterweil, on ‘Reforesting: An Homage to Gil Ott’ a poetry/ sculptural installation/print show at The Painted Bride Art Center. Four of her poems have been set to music composed by Kyle Smith and were performed as part of “Lyric Fest.”

Julia worked for a number of years as a poet-in-the-schools before becoming a fourth- grade teacher (first for eight years in West Philadelphia and 25 years at Germantown Academy in Fort Washington). Since working in the schools, she received a Milken Family Foundation National Educator Award in 2000
