Liv Mammone

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

Liv Mammone is a queer disabled poet and editor from Long Island, New York.[1]

She has cerebral palsy.[2]

Regarding her journey as a disabled writer, Mammone has shared: [3]

“I cannot control what reaction forms in the minds of people who see me; whether pity is part of that and whether they choose to tell me so. Those reactions, at the mic or the bus stop, will always attempt to lessen me. But only through expressing the full human range of my emotions, limitations, and accomplishments can I combat other people’s myopic perceptions. I was a fool to believe I could remove my disability from my poetry because, whether I am engaging it as a subject in an individual poem or not, I am disabled so that will color my perception. These days, I am engaging it directly most of the time simply because I thought I shouldn’t for so many years.”

Mammone earned her MFA degree from Queen’s College. She was mentored by Kimiko Hahn, Roger Sedarat, and Nicole Cooley. Mammone has taught creative writing at Queen’s College and at her other alma mater, Hofstra.[1][3]
