Who am I?
Talicha J. is a Black queer poet, teaching artist, and Pushcart Prize and Best of Net nominee. She was a 2024 Collaborating Fellow at The Poetry Lab. Her debut collection, Falling in Love with Picking Myself Up (2015), led to a national tour and helped grow her presence as a poet. She is currently a reader with Frontier Poetry & Alternating Current Press, and Assistant Managing Editor with Fahmidan Journal.
In June 2024, she released her chapbook, Taking Back the Body, which won the Beyond the Veil Press chapbook contest. She is a Co-Founder of Camp Write Start, curates online generative workshops, and hosts a monthly publication submission space. Her work has appeared in or is forthcoming with Torch Literary Arts, Peach Fuzz, Lucky Jefferson, Just Femme and Dandy, Button Poetry, and more.
