Bianca Stone

On September 30, 2025 Stone performed at POWERHOUSE Arena for “Seriously Celebrating The New Yorker’s 100th Anniversary: Poetry.”

Stone’s work braids the visionary and the intimate—dream, psyche, inheritance, and daily life—often slipping between surreal image and plainspoken candor. A poet and visual artist, she is known for hybrid works (including poetry comics) that keep language at the helm while letting image, memory, and music deepen the field of meaning.

Born and raised in Vermont, Bianca Stone is currently serving as Vermont’s Poet Laureate. She has authored poetry collections including What Is Otherwise Infinite (winner of the 2022 Vermont Book Award), The Möbius Strip Club of Grief, Someone Else’s Wedding Vows, and The Near and Distant World (forthcoming 2026). She also hosts the Ode & Psyche podcast and co-founded Ruth Stone House, a poetry-based nonprofit, in honor of her grandmother, the late poet Ruth Stone.
