Writing for all days,
Seasons, feelings, ways to be
A human, here, now
Sophie Lorraine Smith is a poet and author living in Western Washington. They were Kenmore’s first Youth Poet Laureate, the winner of the 2023 Queer Writers of America contest, and their work has been published in Queerbook, Under the Madness Magazine, Good Word Walking, and new words press- so far. They are currently working as an editor for Jeopardy Magazine, the annual literary and visual arts publication of Western Washington University. On a given day, you can find them reading, petting their cats, thinking about bread, making awful puns, and wearing blindingly colorful outfits.
