Shannon Clem (she/they) is a writer, musician, artist, humorist, & elusive creature. A former resident of Portland, Oregon, she is currently rumored to reside with her amazing AuDHD 12-year-old & their squad of Squishmallows somewhere in California. Shannon's work explores love, loss, neurodivergence, queerness, addiction, domestic violence, chronic illness, disability, & hermitude—often with a humorous slant. They love TMNT, music, comedy, quantum cosmology, parapsychology, cryptozoology, the pollination process of figs, & paternal mouthbrooding jawfish. Their written and visual art may be seen published or forthcoming in various anthologies and journals including: In Praise of Despair: Disability Pride Anthology (Beyond the Veil Press); Unstable (Querencia Press); Reformatting The Pain Scale (Olney Magazine); Not Ghosts, But Spirits Vol. III (Querencia Press); Scavengers Lit 2 (Querencia Press); Glisk & Glimmer: Poems About Light (Sídhe Press); Our Own Coordinates: Poems About Dementia (Sídhe Press); Five Minutes (for which she has also been a Guest Reader); Beaver Magazine; The Hunger; Anti-Heroin Chic; Bullshit Lit; Versification Zine; Warning Lines; MIDLVLMAG; Rat's Ass Review; Dadakuku; HNDL Mag; & elsewhere.
