"Zoe Tuck is a capacious and serious thinker and by turns funny, quiet, aggressive, intimate, digressive, diaristic, and sometimes, blue. Bedroom Vowel is a totally great read and offers nonstop action where we are told 'My language wants to be perceived as strange by many but by some as not merely peculiar but peculiarly beautiful.' So many varied addresses and forms and in all of these poems she is loving the reader as much as the act of reading what she loves."

Zoe Tuck was born in Texas, became a person in California, and now lives in Massachusetts. She is the author of Terror Matrix (Timeless, Infinite Light) and the chapbooks Vape Cloud of Unknowing (Belladonna*) and The Book of Bella (DoubleCross Press), the latter of which is bound in a dos-a-dos edition with Emily Hunerwadel’s Peach Woman. In addition to teaching private creative writing and literature classes, Zoe is the co-host of The But Also reading series with Britt Billmeyer-Finn and the co-editor of Hot Pink Magazine with Emily Bark Brown. Since 2019, she has been an active member of the Belladonna* Collaborative, where she has co-curated both the Close Distances and the In-Flux reading series.
