Arianna Monet (she/they) is a queer Black poet and strawberry ice cream enthusiast from eastern Massachusetts. In the wake of a disabling event with a restructuring effect on her cognition, much of her artistic practice is concerned with the capacity of poetic form to function as a kind of assistive tech. In addition to being a 2022 Zoeglossia Fellow, Arianna is a 2023 Lambda Literary Fellow and was a member of the 2019 Boston Poetry Slam Team. Their work can be found with Button Poetry, the Academy of American Poets, and elsewhere.
