About the Featured Poet:

Tylyn K. Johnson (they/he) is a floating writer from Naptown, IN, US. They write to reflect a complex love through the framed lenses of Black Queer artistry. Their language has appeared in numerous spaces, including Lolwe, just femme and dandy, Toyon Literary Magazine, and Dogwood Alchemy, with more work forthcoming. A lover of all creativities, he’s recently been dipping his quill into the visual arts. And of course, Tylyn loved being a fan of their city’s poetry and arts scene.
