Tammy Greenwood, Poet & Printmaker

Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, California poet and printmaker, Tammy C. Greenwood’s work encompasses the heavy influence of her Southern roots and her newfound connection to the West Coast. Returning to academia later in life, she graduated summa cum laude from Cal State San Bernardino earning her BA in Studio Art studying printmaking, sculpture, painting, and creative writing. She identifies as both a poet and printmaker, seamlessly moving between these two disciplines. Her connection to the natural world is apparent through her use of iconic subject matter richly woven in symbolism as she explores themes of infertility, motherhood, life, death, and immortality. 

 

She is a Pushcart Prize, Best Spiritual Lit nominee and a finalist in the 2026 Mississippi Review Poetry Prize. Her work appears or is forthcoming in Bellevue Literary Review, Greensboro Review, Mississippi Review, New Ohio Review, Rattle, Pinch, SWWIM, Whale Road Review, and elsewhere.
 

She is currently an MFA student of Poetry at San Diego State University and her chapbook, “The Winged and the Horned,” debuted in 2026 by Finishing Line Press. You can find more of her work at www.tammygreenwoodart.com and her Instagram @tgreenwoodartspeaker.
