ASSOCIATE POETRY EDITOR

When they aren’t searching for rare skramz cassettes, Liam Strong (they/them) often wonders how to next queer classical philosophy and linguistics in new poems and prose. Previously nominated for both Pushcart and Best of the Net awards, they are a queer neurodivergent cripple punk writer who has earned their B.A. in writing from University of Wisconsin-Superior. They have served in the past as Chapbook Coordinator for Michigan Writers Cooperative Press (MWCP) and former editor of NMC Magazine.

You can find Liam’s poetry and essays in Impossible Archetype, Ghost Proposal, and Emerald City, among several others. Their first chapbook, Everyone’s Left the Hometown Show, was published by Bottlecap Press (2023). They are most likely gardening somewhere in Northern Michigan, or maybe just watching early 2000s girlypop comedies with their cat, Dandy. If you ever see Liam in the wild, don’t ask them about losing their shoes during Sorority Noise’s last Michigan show. They’ll never shut up.
