About Felicia

Felicia Carparelli is a teacher and musician, writing in Chicago. She has work published and forthcoming in Mystic Owl, Scarlet, Sinister Wisdom, Galway Review, The Rhubris, Flexx Mag, Tiny Love-New York Times, Coping with Cancer and Cure Today. She writes letters about life— some humorous, some political, published in the New York Times and The Chicago Sun-Times.

She plays her accordion during the full moon with parakeet accompaniment and has appeared on the Svengoolie show, three times.

She is working on a series of short stories inspired by Greek myths, banned books, Japanese ceramics, and the dystopian 2024 election. Body dysmorphia and her experience as a Catholic direct her work.

Being a cancer survivor with new flaws on the canvas of her body and soul is also instrumental in her writing.
