Keri Stewart, a poet based in MA, combines her passion for writing with nature and eco-tourism as Birding Tourism Columnist at Blinter Magazine. After completing a B.A. in psychology, she is now pursuing an MFA in poetry at UNH. Her work has been featured in Potted Purple, Portrait of New England, and the University of New Hampshire’s URC: Naked Arts 2024. Additionally, Stewart received runner-up for the Richard M. Ford Writing Award in 2024 and has co-run panels at the Nossrat Yassini Poetry Festivals in 2024 and 2025.

Outside of the literary industry, much of her phone storage is dedicated to the eBird app and any photos she takes while birding. Though she hasn’t seen her favorite bird, the American Woodcock, she has spotted other favorites: mourning doves and house wrens. Through her birding adventures, her passion for nature infuses her writing, fostering attention toward a more sustainable future.
