THANK YOUs
Gratitude never ending to my partner Remy, a well spring of inspiration, joy, and support; to my family for everything over the years; to all the beings, places, and spaces from which this work arose; and to Moniker Press for their patience and willingness to work with me, this project likely wouldn’t see the light of day without them.
BIO
Jasper Pelle was born and raised in Seattle, Washington but found their creative footing in Missoula, Montana, primarily as a poet and performance artist. Their writing practice took shape in the DIY punk/art scene, growing out of noise and ephemera, engaging with language not as a tool to be manipulated for the sake of expression, but as an end in itself. Grounded in a palpable sincerity, their poetry is abstracted and embodied, tactile and immaterial; fields of image and sensation from which meaning and feeling are not strictly communicated but given the space to arise. Beyond their art practice they are a gardener, baker, and community organizer. They live in Vancouver with their partner and two black cats.
