Talia Isaacson is a writer living on unceded Ohlone land in Oakland, California. Informed by queerness, diasporic yiddishness, and a glottal block stutter, Talia’s work confronts the pressure of the linear and seeks to apprentice to the glitches within us. She is situated in the agricultural and ecological, exploring patterns of fluency and the wisdom in derailing them.
Talia has received support from Fishouse Poems and the University of Virginia's MFA Program, where they were a Poe-Faulkner Fellow and the recipient of a Henfield Prize in Fiction. Their work is published or forthcoming in Narrative, EcoTheo, Blackbird, THRUSH, and elsewhere.
