Erin obtained her MFA in Philosophy from The New School in New York. Throughout her career, she's produced criticism, short fiction, and poetry. In her professional life, she's supported work for organizations including National Geographic, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and the American Philosophical Association.

As both a native Californian and Arkansan, Erin draws on her own experience to explore issues of inherited meaning across regions. At once tactile and abstract, her writing invokes new agencies and transfigures tradition, with invocations of folklore, nostalgia, feminism, and ontology.

Her debut collection of short stories, Dumb Supper, is forthcoming in Autumn of 2026.
