Originally from Normal, Illinois, she moved to Southern California at the age of 19, and on to London in 2001.[1]
Etter holds a BA from the University of California, Los Angeles, and an MFA, MA and PhD from the University of California, Irvine. She was a visiting lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire for 2003–2004, teaching short-story writing and literature.
She was a Reader at Bath Spa University, where she taught between 2004 and 2022.[2] She is currently guiding the new poetry provision in University of Bristol's Masters in Creative Writing.[3]
In the UK, her poems have appeared in The New Statesman, Poetry Review, The Rialto, The Times Literary Supplement, and elsewhere, while in the US her poems have appeared in The Iowa Review, The New Republic, Seneca Review, and many other journals. She is also an essayist and a critic. Her reviews of contemporary poetry have appeared in The Independent, The Guardian, and The Times Literary Supplement, among others. Etter has published essays on Sherman Alexie, Peter Reading and W. B. Yeats.
She won a 2010 London Awards for Art and Performance, the London New Poetry Award for a best first collection published in the UK and Ireland in the preceding year, for The Tethers. In 2013 she received an Authors' Foundation grant from the Society of Authors for work on her third collection, Imagined Sons, which went on to be shortlisted for the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry by the Poetry Society.
