Rachel Evelyn Sucher is a queer Vermont writer, activist, performer, and intersectional feminist. Her poems have been shortlisted for the International Literary Awards: the Rita Dove Award in Poetry and the Dan Veach Prize for Younger Poets, and longlisted for the Nimrod Literary Awards: the Pablo Neruda Prize for Poetry, the Brett Elizabeth Jenkins Poetry Prize, and the L'Éphémère Review Inaugural Awards. Rachel is the founder and co-editor-in-chief of COUNTERCLOCK literary & art journal. Rachel is headed to the Virginia Quarterly Review Writers' Conference this summer. A mentee in the Adroit Journal Summer Mentorship Program and the Glass Kite Anthology Summer Writing Studio, she has also attended the New England Young Writers' Conference at Bread Loaf. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in Tinderbox, The Rumpus, Luna Luna Magazine, Dream Pop Journal, Yes Poetry, Rising Phoenix Review, and Bitter Melon Magazine, among others. When she isn’t wrestling writer’s block or the patriarchy, Rachel can be found snuggling puppies, overthinking, and collecting epigraphs in her nerdy poet's notebook.
