Author Information

Maggie Fern wanted to be a jazz musician. When that didn't work out, she became a rocket scientist-the backup plan. She eventually traded NASA for advisory. Somewhere along the way she started writing a play about the 2008 financial crisis and the collapse of the American household. And now, inexplicably, poems. She has an MBA from Georgetown and degrees in finance and computer science from Loyola University in New Orleans. None of this makes sense, including this book. She lives in New York City, still wondering what the hell happened to the jazz thing.
