Biography
Anonymous (they/them) is a Compton, California native and writer of prose, poetry, and hybrid works. They are a life-long student of spirituality, dance, music, painting, history, language, and intellectualism. Their main goal is to tell the painful truth in a beautiful way, to create pieces that soothe the oppressed and disturb oppressors.
They have authored multiple chapbooks, which establish a language that is intimate yet detached, sensual yet austere, playfully chaotic yet still, and aims to be spiritual as much as it is written. Their poetry holds the elegance of haiku as a flame in the heart while dancing on the tired legs of common vernacular. They aim to write a poem for everyone on earth, all about beauty that through time hasn't been gazed on because the people who lived those gorgeous, painful stories were too busy fighting for their lives to sit down & write.
Their writing was published in the anthology Working It: Sex Workers on the Work of Sex. They cofounded a mutual aid organization and continues to write in order to build community among other people like themselves—queer/trans, ill & disabled, displaced, Black & darker skinned, muslim, sex worker, and poverty-surviving single parents.
