Poetry is how Gale makes sense of the world as a survivor of incest and sexual abuse. They hope their voice helps other survivors know they are not alone.
Gale is currently pursuing an MFA through Antioch University Los Angeles. Their poems have appeared or are forthcoming in Exposed Bone, Calliope-on-the-Web, Jupiter Review, The Ekphrastic Review, and the Ventura County page of the California Poet Laureate’s “Our California” website.
Whenever possible, Gale enjoys walking on the beach and playing Minecraft, though not at the same time.
