About

an image of phoenix, the poet, a Jewish person with olive skin and wild brown hair and big purple-framed glasses. Xe is smiling a the camera. Xe is wearing a simple black top.

Phoenix Ember­stone is a social justice edu­ca­tion, com­mu­nic­a­tions spe­cial­ist, editor, poet and writer cur­rently based in Naarm, on unceded Wur­undjeri Woi-Wur­rung lands, in so-called Aus­tralia. Xe is a cranky aut­istic parent (get off my lawn); anarch­ofem­in­ist firebrand & edu­cator; queer & dis­abled & jewish.

If read­ing xyr poetry and blog haven’t given you enough of an idea about who xe is, have a look at what makes xyr happy (but note that not all of it’s true any more: kid is now 14; black cat is cur­rently at my feet; thesis is fin­ished).
