MOE GÁMEZ

Fiction and Poetry Editor

Moe Gámez (they/them) is a writer, researcher, and recent graduate from a master’s program in English literature at California State University, Long Beach (Puvungna), with a special emphasis on ecopoetics and queer ecology. They’ve presented critical analyses on the ecopoetics of Muriel Rukeyser and Jorie Graham, and they are presently working on advocating for more-than-human radical kinships, as developed within Denise Levertov’s Pig Dreams. They hope to pursue a PhD in English, to further research how radical kinships manifest in the ecopoetics and speculative fiction of 20th/21st c. American literature, and how strengthening these affective bonds might prepare us for what lies ahead. They currently live in a van on Puvungna land, with hopes to migrate to locales more densely populated with more-than-human creatures.
