𐤟 R L 𐤟 powell
· R L · powell (he :: they) is a writer of poetry, prose, and whatever it is that happens in-between. His work has appeared online and in print, and he has recently completed a new poetry manuscript, Any Cure as Flat as Salt. Their experience with neurodivergence, queerness, and long-term disability count amongst their most recent influences—but their interests and attention have always gravitated toward the surreal, the offbeat, and what is frankly peculiar. A significant amount of his inspiration comes from speculative fiction; the genre of memoir; as well as a long, and well established history as a storyteller and scholar.
· R L · earned his BA (Hons) from the University of Toronto, with a specialization in English and minor is something called Paradigms & Archetypes — they graduated with High Distinction. He returned to the UofT to pursue doctoral studies in English literature, and his MA in English Language & Literatures was awarded at Queen’s University, Kingston. This June, they will begin their MFA at the Bennington Writing Seminars in Vermont.
· R L · is happy to answer any questions you may have about their work or upcoming projects — and he would like you to know that you’re doing a magnificent job of being yourself.
