BIO

Full Bio (198 words): Ezra Fox lives and writes in San Francisco, CA and holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Indiana University. 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 Writers Retreat Fellow, and recipient of the Lili Elbe Memorial Scholarship, which recognizes transgender writers of exceptional promise, their work appears or is forthcoming in TriQuarterly, Fourteen Hills, Sierra Nevada Review, Zone 3, and elsewhere. Additionally, they won the 2025 West Trade Review Poetry Prize, was selected as a finalist for Palette Poetry’s 2025 Queer Poetry Prize, Bellingham Review’s 49th Parallel Award for Poetry, and 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. Learn more about Ezra at ezrafox.net, and follow them on Instagram @ezraxfox.
