KIMBERLY M. GREY is an interdisciplinary writer whose work moves between memoir, memory studies, auto-theory, and hybridity. She is the author of Bewilder Meant (Persea Books, forthcoming 2027) and the essay collection A Mother Is an Intellectual Thing (2023). She has also published two acclaimed poetry collections: Systems for the Future of Feeling (2020) and The Opposite of Light (2016), winner of the Lexi Rudnitsky First Book Prize.

Her writing engages with the crossings of semiotics, trauma, and narratology, asking how language both holds and fractures experience. Her work has appeared in A Public Space, The Kenyon Review, New England Review, Narrative, Tin House, PN Review (UK), among other journals. She has received fellowships from the Wallace Stegner Program at Stanford University and the Civitella Ranieri Foundation in Umbria, Italy, as well as a Taft Research Grant from the University of Cincinnati, where she completed a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and Creative Writing.

Grey serves on the advisory board of the Pegasus Physician Writers at Stanford Medical Center and has taught at universities across the United States. She is currently Assistant Professor of Creative Writing in the graduate program at the University of North Texas.
