Author Information

Karen Byers (Brehmer) writes both prose and poetry that explore the quiet complexities of human experience, drawing inspiration from Tom Waits, Raymond Carver, and others. Her work blends personal memory with cultural observation, reflecting on grief, loss, and the emotional architecture of everyday life-and the things left unsaid. What People Do Best is her first chapbook, with ""Macedonia"" and ""Divorce"" first appearing in LEON Literary Review as ""On Macedonia"" and ""On Divorce,"" respectively, in 2020. Karen currently teaches first-year writing at Oakland University in Michigan while living in Oklahoma with her husband, stepdaughter, and many pets.
