Ally Eden (she/they) is an emerging queer poet and currently serves as Poet Laureate of Fort Collins, Colorado. Ally’s work is vibrant, unabashedly poignant, and rooted in love for community. In her approach to art as a practice, she strives to curate participatory experiences that offer everyone a seat at the table. Ally co-founded the Gulo Gulo Poetry Collective, runs a bimonthly peer-critique group, The Rabbit Hutch, and facilitates collaborations and workshops for musicians, immigrants and refugees, incarcerated writers, fellow writers, queer youth, and the community at-large. An English/Spanish interpreter by trade, her role as a linguist parallels her poetic ethos—bridging difference by way of words. Ally Eden’s work has been featured in The Imaginables, Nudie Magazine, Scrapped Magazine, and “Songs of Revolution” by Sunday Mornings at the River.
