Eli is a queer Colorado poet, parent, hiker, gardener, singer-songwriter, urban farmer, tiler and contractor. They've had poems published in multiple zines and reviews including Spit Poet Zine, Dark Moon Zine, and South Broadway Ghost Society. Their book, Treat Me Like You Treat the Earth, sold out after publication in 2019 and is slated for re-publication this year. Their self-published chapbook, Confessions from the Brink of Ecocide, came out in 2023. Their new book, Better Ways of Being Human, is currently being submitted. They are lead singer of "Eli and the Hypotheticals" and yes, they will help you build your garden bed. (More punk than Brice since 2016)
