Waverly Vernon (they/them) is a writer and interdisciplinary artist currently studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, focusing on writing and ceramics.  Their work spans poetry and interdisciplinary art, exploring femininity, demonization of their sexuality, resilience, religious deprogramming, and trauma. What began as a personal refuge has grown into a means of connection, inviting readers to share in these explorations. Poetry is no longer just a tool for self-understanding; it builds bridges between shared and disparate experiences, contributing to the broader literary and artistic landscape. 

Their poetry has been or will be featured in various publications, including Moonstone Arts Center, Acorn Review, Wildscape Literary Journal, Assignment Literary Magazine, Creation Magazine, and Arcana Poetry Press.
