Naoise Rose Gale

Naoise Gale (she/her) is a twenty-year-old autistic poet from West Yorkshire, UK. She principally writes about mental illness, addiction and eating disorders. Her poems have been described as 'sensual', 'raw', and 'gutting'. She loves to blend dazzling, jarring language and scenes of natural beauty with the ugly, the dark, and the intimate. Previously published by various indie magazines including Opia Lit, Versification and Serotonin, her debut pamphlet 'After the Flood Comes the Apologies' is due to be released by Nine Pens in October 2021. She has also had some competition success, being shortlisted, highly commended or mentioned in five competitions in the last year. Most recently, she was an honourable mention in the Magdalena Young Poet's Prize 2021. She was runner up in the Parkinson's Art Competition 2020, and her first flash fiction piece 'My Lover' was published on the Reflex Fiction website in January 2021. She regularly attends Wednesday Writer's Open Mic Nights. When not writing, reading or translating poems, she likes to sing, dance and bake.

## Writing Philosophy

Gale loves poetry that feels urgent, honest and essential. For her, poetry is a vocation and a form of therapy. She believes in "writing from the gut" and offering snapshots into the psyche that are tragic, comic, intense and crafted with precision. Her inspirations are confessional poets such as Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton, as well as contemporary poets like Bobby Parker, Melissa Lee Houghton and Gaia Rajan.

## Inspirations

When asked about her inspirations, Gale stated "I always loved writing as a child and young teen, but at aged sixteen, I began suffering from anorexia, and my creativity disappeared. Years of mental illness ensued, but last year I committed to recovery, and within a few weeks, the spark for writing and need to communicate came back. Poetry became my outlet, my passion, and my distraction. I was inspired by other poets who write about difficult subjects in refreshing ways: Elisabeth Horan; Bobby Parker; Melissa Lee Houghton; Gaia Rajan; Sam Willetts. Most of all, I write poetry because I believe I have something to say that may help others."

## Goals

Gale's principal goal is for my debut pamphlet "After the Flood Comes the Apologies" to be successful. She would love for it to be widely read, positively reviewed, and it is her dream for it to win a prize. In the future, she would like to write her first full collection, focusing on addiction, nostalgia, the natural world and trauma. As a linguist, she would also like to translate a book of poetry.

Camille Wanliss

Camille Wanliss is a Jamaican-American writer born and raised in New York. A 2021 Pigeon Pages Essay Contest winner, her work has also been published in Raising Mothers, Anomaly, Kweli Journal, Weird Sister, The Feminist Wire, The Indypendent, and Clutch Magazine, among others.

Fellowships and residencies include Vermont Studio Center and Writing in the Margins. She earned an MFA in Creative Writing from the City College of New York.

## Goals

Her goals are to publish her novel-in-progress and sustain a career as a writer.

## Inspirations

> "Much of my work explores the impact of familial estrangement and inherited trauma through the lens of Afro-Caribbean identity. As a first-generation American born to Jamaican immigrants, I have witnessed firsthand how frayed emotional ties can cross continents and span generations. As a writer, I craft familiar stories about unfamiliar people; those who are often relegated to the margins of mainstream storytelling. My aim is to create complex yet accurate portrayals of Caribbean identity while challenging the boundaries of Western culture, specifically through the decolonization of language."
>
>

## Philosophy

> "There’s a lot of gatekeeping within the literary community, specifically around whose stories get to be told. Years ago, one of my grad school professors refused to workshop a short story of mine because he "couldn’t relate to it." And because he couldn’t see himself in a story about a Caribbean family, my work was deemed unworthy of public consumption. Since then, I have written from a purely decolonized lens. My goal is to never conform; to always stray from the confines of what is deemed "proper" or "acceptable" by Eurocentric standards."

Raegen Pietrucha

Raegen Pietrucha writes, edits, and consults creatively and professionally. Her poetry chapbook, *An Animal I Can't Name*, won the 2015 Two of Cups Press competition; her debut poetry collection, *Head of a Gorgon*, is forthcoming with Vegetarian Alcoholic Press in 2022; and she has a memoir in progress. She received her MFA from Bowling Green State University, where she was an assistant editor for *Mid-American Review*. Her work has been published in *Cimarron Review*, *Puerto del Sol*, and other journals. Connect with her at raegenmp.wordpress.com and on Twitter @freeradicalrp.

## Early Life

Born in the Midwest, moved to the Southwest as a teen. "Technically not sure if I ever grew up, though," she writes.

## Writing Philosophy

Pietrucha says, "All my writing thus far has been a product of a deeply personal urgency. I am not a prolific writer, nor do I aspire to be; I just want to share what I believe to be essential—nothing more, nothing less."

## Goals & Inspirations

When asked about her goals, Pietrucha writes,

> "Writing, for me, is the place I go when I’ve had a trajectory-altering experience and there’s something about it I feel I must find the language for in order to transmit it or what I learned from it to others, in the hopes it may help them along in their journey. It’s important to me to give voice to what has remained unstated or understated (whether by choice or by force) in the realm of women’s experience, probably because finding a woman brave enough to say what I was feeling but had never said myself was one of my earliest and most profound experiences with poetry (I’m referencing Louise Gluck’s “Mock Orange” here, in case anyone’s curious). My deepest hope is that my work reaches survivors of all genders and reminds them that not only are they not alone, but they may someday be able to transform the tragic into some form of healing, activism, or both."
>
>

When asked about what inspires her to write, she says,

> "Again, I return to urgency, that sense that something needs to be said and perhaps I’m the person who can say it the way it needs to be said to resonate with a particular someone who needs to hear it. I like to think of art as a sort of invisible telephone wire connecting a mind that’s learned something with a mind seeking an answer, mainly because that’s what art’s been for me."

Teddy Lupin's wand

This wand belonged to one Teddy Lupin. It was sold to him by Garrick Ollivander in 2009. A particularly strange combination of Redwood and Dragon Heartstring makes this wand very suitable to those interested in the Dark Arts. However, it has never been given the chance to do so, even after Teddy's graduation from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where it served well, only acting on its own accord once.

## Wandlore

### The Combination

The combination of Redwood and Dragon Heartstring is not exactly a common one, due to the fact that Redwood comes in short supply and that Dragon Heartstring is the easiest to turn to the dark arts. The redwood strongly conflicts with the Dragon Heartstring, typically forcing it out of the wand due to its own distaste. However, in this wand, it simply remains in place, held sturdily together magically.
Pure-blood

**Pure-blood** is a term given to those who claim to have a full wizarding family tree. A dying race, most pure-blood families believe in blood status, in that they believe they are superior to any other form of witch or wizard. Some wizarding families go to the extremes of inbreeding to have their family tree completely pure-blooded (i.e. the House of Gaunt & the House of Black). Other wizarding families believe it is acceptable to breed with half-bloods given a shortage of unrelated pure-blood witches and wizards (i.e. Malfoy Family).

Rick Hollon

Rick Hollon (they/fey) is a nonbinary, intersex, queer writer, editor, nature photographer, and parent currently living in the eastern United States. Fey is the founding editor of Farther Trees: A Magazine of Fantasy, as well as the Queer Blades and Mesozoic Reader anthologies.

## Early Life

Born in Dayton, Ohio, they spent much of my childhood semi-homeless, living in a car shuttling back and forth across the United States. At various times in my childhood and teens, fey called Florida, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico home.

## Goals

Fey want to publish standalone fantasy novels and series, as well as short stories and poetry in a variety of small press and professional magazines.

## Philosophy

On their philosophy, Rick said, "I want to tell personal stories of lower-class characters navigating secondary world settings, examining how ordinary people make use of the choices and agency available to them. Tales of the powerful don't interest me. I'm also drawn to the interrelationships of people, nature, and the magic that connects them all."

## Inspirations

The degree of talent and dynamic storytelling in modern fantasy is as intimidating as it is inspiring according to Hollon. Authors like N. K. Jemisin, E. Lily Yu, and Jo Walton are telling complex, literary stories that make full use of the genre's potential. Fey aspire to create such fully-realized characters and lovely prose in their own writings.

## Goals

> "I have so many writing goals, but I think I can summarize them like this: 1) Keep writing, and don't worry so much about awards/accolades. 2) Encourage and promote other writers."
>
>

## Inspirations

> "I began creating poems as a child because I fell in love with the sounds of language and wanted to play. By age 10, I was writing poems to call out racism and injustice, and as an adult I've found myself writing often about women who have been left nameless or omitted from stories entirely. So many things can inspire these poems though: conversations, art, familiar stories, my kids, science... I'm always open to language and imagery that might spark a poem."
>
>

## Philosophy

> "I write to connect with other people: readers and other writers in my own time, but also writers from the past and, I hope, future readers and writers too. People often talk about writing as a solitary activity, and the act itself can be, but I think it's the hope of connection keeps me reading and writing."

Lupin Family

**Lyall John Lupin** (1929 - 2032) was a half-blood wizard renowned for his knowledge of Non-Human Spirituous Apparitions. He married the muggle, Hope Howell and together they had their only son, Remus Lupin, who would transform into a werewolf after being attacked by Fenrir Greyback for comments that Lyall made about the race of people.

## Biography

Lyall was born a half-blood wizard, and attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a Gryffindor. In his later years, he worked in the Ministry of Magic as an employee of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. He was also renowned for his grandeur of taking care of spiritual beings such as Boggarts.

One day, at the age of thirty, Lyall heard screaming coming from a dense forest, where he met a woman cowering before a scarily tall, evil looking man. He quickly got rid of him, and soon they fell in love, and married less than a year after. The year after their marriage, they had a son named Remus John Lupin, named by a Naming Seer.

Nearly five years after his son's birth, he made a rude comment about werewolves that reached publishing from the Daily Prophet. Soon that evening, they were visited by the ferociously infamous Fenrir Greyback, who bit Remus on the full moon, contaminating him with the curse of the werewolf. Over the next six years, the family would move around the country every time their neighbors got wise about the fact that their son was a werewolf.

Lyall, like his wife, was worried that Remus would not be accepted in Hogwarts. Fortunately, however, Albus Dumbledore reassured them that provisions will be put in place so the Remus will not be able to hurt any of the other students.

In the First Wizarding War, Lyall's wife, Hope died at the hands of a Death Eater. While he tried to stand by and guard, he was hit by a Stunning Spell and was helpless.

Later in his life, he attended Remus' small marriage ceremony to Nymphadora Tonks. He then was notified of his only grandson, Teddy Lupin's, birth. He even attended Teddy's wedding to Victoire Weasley, but died shortly after.

## Etymology

* Lyall is a surname derived from the scottish given name, "Liulfr," meaning "wolf"
	+ It could be that Lyall was named after his mother's surname
* Lupin is based on the latin word "lupinus," meaning wolf-like

Weasley Family

**Dominique Apolline Weasley** (b. 2002) was a half-blood part-Veela witch born to Bill and Fleur Weasley. She attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with eleven of her closest relatives at once.

## Biography

### Early Life (2002 - 2013)

Dominique was born in 2002 as a half-blood part-Veela witch to Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour. She inherited most of her physical traits from her mother, as Veela blood is incredibly dominant to human blood in females. This being said, however, there's a notable similarity in personality to Dominique and her father.

Dominique lived very close to her paternal grandparents, which formed a strong relationship between them. Growing up, her favorite cousin, Molly became her close friend, constantly going to her house to play wizard's games and fantasizing about the future. She would be the one to give Dominique the nickname, "Dom."

Before setting off to Hogwarts, Fleur took Dom to Gregorovitch Zauberstäbe, in which Mykew Gregorovitch's son sold the remaining of his father's creations. Here, Dom found the wand that matched her in a Pear wood with Veela Hair core (donated from her great-grandmother) wand.

### Hogwarts Years (2013 - 2020)

In 2013, Dominique started attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, much to the disappointment of her mother, who had wished she'd attended Beauxbatons Academy of Magic instead. Here, she was sorted into Hufflepuff, which did not come as such a shock to the family after her sister, Victoire, who was sorted into the same house two years prior.

Despite her brother, Louis showing absolutely no signs of being quite like his sisters, Dominique was still a bit disappointed when he was sorted into Gryffindor along with her cousin, James Potter.

You can read more at jenzoduque.com.

## Writing Philosophy

When asked about their writing philosophy, Duque said,
"I'm a leftist, an abolitionist, and a first generation citizen. I believe that art is a tool for building community within populations that have been disenfranchised, that together these communities can push for structural change while uplifting and inspiring their members. To that end, I write with rule-breaking in mind, with radical openness to the possibilities of language, of diverse experiences, and of what that all means for writing as a medium."

## Inspirations

When asked about their inspirations, DuQue answered "Emerging voices. That's why I like to edit and why I went to grad school, because I enjoy reading emerging talent more than what's already published on the market, and I love helping emerging artists realize their visions and goals."

## Goals

DuQue's goals are to support and amplify BIPOC talent, thereby shifting the literary landscape.
