Renée Frackiewicz Gravesen is a writer and maker whose work layers spiritual reckoning, fantasy, and a love of love. Shaped by BBC dramatizations, old folk songs, and her Guatemalan, German, Polish, and Midwestern-Chicagoan heritage, she crafts poems and hybrid texts exploring interiority, myth, glamour, goblins, and grief. Her lyrical play In Remembrance is currently in development alongside a body of poems.
