Milla van der Have is a Gemini. Her poetry has been published in Chestnut Review, Menacing Hedge and Ninth Letter a.o. She’s the author of the chapbooks Ghosts of Old Virginny (Aldrich Press, 2015) and of the Spanish-English Avistamiento de ballenas (51GL0 V3NT1Dó5, 2021). Milla lives and works in Utrecht, the Netherlands, with her wife and two rabbits (that sometimes appear in her poetry, when they feel like it).
