BIO
Howdy, I'm Juliette and this site is a hub of my ~professional~ works.
​
I'm a poet and occasional fiction writer with an MFA in Poetry from Oregon State University.
I'm also:
-a rapscallion
​
-a sister/daughter
​
-a member of the meme gentry (dank meme lord)
​
-a lover of thicc cats & overpriced coffees
​
- in a torrid affair with both the moon AND the em dash
​
As an artist, I use myths and memes to navigate this queer Black existence in the cluster of chaos that is the United States.
​
I think a bridge exists between popular culture and archaic stories that I mean to put on my captain's cap and navigate.
