render is an artist and poet residing on the ancestral homelands of the Puyallup people. their homeplace and chronically fatigued body inspire a practice of slowness and an affinity for intimate, tactile forms like book arts and zines. they appreciate the simplicity of lines which exist confidently and ask no questions, so they spend their time drawing copious amounts of them. render enjoys plant identification, flow arts, and watching the seasons change.

their poetry can be found in:

- If The Storm Clears: An Anthology of the Sublime

- Voices of Tacoma: A Gathering of Poets

render smells a tall, spiky, brown flower at a botanical garden. their hand is raised joyously to their head.
