Allison Truj is an award-winning designer and performing artist living in Boston, but more importantly, she is an octopus who has escaped from the aquarium and cannot be stopped. She is a National Poetry Slam semifinalist, 4-time coach of the Emerson College CUPSI team, and member of the Boston Poetry Slam 2018 national team. Truj is the Production Manager of Ploughshares, co-host of the breakfast podcast Most Important Meal, and she probably likes you.
