welcome.

I’m Abbey Sitterley, a marketing associate by day and a writer by night living in Rochester, NY. Aside from being a published poet and freelance writer, I’m also a singer-songwriter.

My Christian faith is my core, so you’ll find much of my work flows outward from that source, but I also tend to dabble in social commentary, literary criticism, and the occasional short story.

I believe our world is, as Flannery O’Connor coined, “Christ-haunted”: shadowed by an Other that remains a firm foundation despite whether or not we assent to call Him Lord. This tension between faith and doubt is the impulse my work attempts to tap into, playing with ideas as a kind of liturgy.

So if you, too, can’t help but see theological themes in the X Files, enjoy philosophical chats over a pint, and love asking the big questions, we’ll get along great.
