makes art and trouble. She hopes one day to see a whale in real life. In the meantime, she is learning to roller skate, rock-climb, and use an RC-505 loop station while she (allegedly) studies for a BA in English with Creative Writing at Goldsmiths, University of London. She previously earned an HND in Contemporary Music Performance as a vocalist at the ICMP, and a Creative iMedia diploma from Barking & Dagenham College.
She is currently working on a pamphlet of sci-fi ecopoetry, an original TV pilot, and a secret, third thing. In 2022 she directed her first short play (and assistant-directed a full-length play) with KDC theatre. She also performs as a singer-songwriter. Beck Taylor Lombardi is producing her debut EP.
She has been on staff at Lesflicks, a sapphic streaming platform, where she wrote reviews and articles and created closed captions; Monstering, a magazine by and for disabled women, where she read submissions; and Winter Tangerine Review, where she mentored young queer poets for the We Sweat Honeysuckle summer workshop series. At the moment, she works odd jobs part time, including loitering in the background while people make movies.
Her poems have been nominated for multiple Pushcart Prizes and Best of the Net Awards, and in 2021 she was longlisted for Palette Poetry’s Emerging Poet Prize, judged by Kelli Russell Agodon and Foundlings Press’ Ralph Angel Poetry Prize, judged by Mary Ruefle.
If you ever meet her at a party, she will tell you she is Mad, gay, Jew(ish), and an identical twin.
Ask her about space-hopper jousting, alcoholic soup restaurants, and/or the proper etiquette for transporting snails to safety after rain:
