About Me
My name is Davi Gray. My pronouns are “they” and “them.” I am a poet, a writer, a storyteller; queer, trans, nonbinary.
I’m living in North Minneapolis, with a mouthful of bitter joy, on these lands formerly – and often still – stewarded by the Dakota, the Ojibwe, and other Native Americans, taken from them not all that long ago. Many live here to this very day, and some of them could use a little help.

Words are published all over the world.
Magazines, journals, anthologies. Books. Newspapers. Chapbooks. Flyers. Cards. Bathroom stalls. You name it, there are probably words on it.
Not my words, mostly. Not yet. But look out, world…I’m coming for all that flatness!

What I Write
Poetry: Free verse, decidedly unfree verse, forms, chaos, words straddling the lines between.
Prose: Memoir. Essays. Short stories. Blog posts. Website copy. Content.
Am I content? Never.

Secrets
