ABOUT EZRA

Ezra Fox lives and writes in San Francisco, CA. Their infatuation with poetry began in 2nd grade when they composed their first piece—a dedicated ode to skunks—which earned the honor of "poem of the week" at their school's library.

Ezra's writing explores the tensions between lineage, queer identity, and spirituality as they intersect with concepts of impermanence and non-duality. A Lambda Literary's 2025 Writers Retreat Fellow, they also received the Lili Elbe Memorial Scholarship, which recognizes transgender writers of exceptional promise. Ezra holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Indiana University and a BA in Creative Writing from Ithaca College. Their work appears or is forthcoming in TriQuarterly, EcoTheo Review, Zócalo Public Square, Zone 3, and elsewhere. They were also a finalist for Birdcoat Quarterly's Editors' Choice Prize in Poetry.

Apart from writing, Ezra maintains a daily practice of reconnecting with their inner child: roller-skating, playing drums, and enjoying animated films and theme parks. In quieter moments, they can be found sharing cups of tea and sweet treats with their beloveds.
