C.E. Laine divides her time between writing and flying old airplanes. She avoids the mundane whenever possible, with the exception of making lists. She is a student pilot, a realtor, and a web designer when she isn't writing. In the past, she's been magician's assistant, a baker, an extra in a few movies, a licensed artist in New Orleans' French Quarter, and a soldier in this girl's U. S. Army. She lives in a creaking old Virginia home, conveniently ruled by seven cats. She enjoys making lists on sticky notes when she isn't writing poems. She's also left-handed.

Nominated for the Pushcart Prize (The Metastatic Whatnot, 2003), her work has appeared in SaucyVox, Poems Niederngasse, New World Poetry, Free Zone Quarterly, Poetry Super Highway, Countless Horizons, The White Shoe Irregular, Bay Review Liberal Arts Journal, Friction Magazine, 2River View, Kota Press, Absinthe, Stirring, Clean Sheets, Erosha, Beauty for Ashes, Ludlow Press, Pierian Springs, Thunder Sandwich, MiPo~Print, Adirondack Review, AnotherSun and The Melic Review.

She is also a contributor to "In Their Own Words; a generation defining itself" Vols. 3 and 4. Her collection of poetry entitled "The Poverty of Birds" appears in the anthology Before the Last Shadow Fades – A Shadow Poetry Collection Vol. 3 (22 poems).

She has written three full-length books of poetry; Allegory, The Weight of Dust, and Postcards From A Summer Girl. She plans on releasing a CD of spoken poetry later in the year.

She is the editor of Little Poem Press, VLQ (Verse Libre Quarterly) and co-editor of Erosha.
