Christina Shideler

Christina Shideler is a current student at The New School Creative Writing Program, and she hails from the faraway land of Texas — but before you ask her, no, she doesn’t have an accent. She’s currently working on an in-progress hybrid genre book that analyzes the cultural history of anxiety, hysteria, and that thing that happens when your uterus goes AWOL. When she isn’t analyzing anxiety, she writes sarcastic poems about celebrities and makes animated gifs of shaking asses. In a former life, Christina worked in publishing, but these days. she spends most of her time talking to her dog in a high-pitched voice. She also has a curio cabinet that includes the best Valentine’s day present she ever got — a chicken heart in pink-colored alcohol with a rose petal.
