Amy Gaeta is not utopian; she is a student of understanding how we survive a world that is killing us on a dying planet, a feminist disability activist and scholar, poet, punk, and PhD candidate in the English Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her academic work specializes in the psychological aspects of human-technology relations under the surveillance state. In poetry, she explores mental illness, desire, and the impossibility of being human. Her first chapbook The Andy Poems was published by Red Mare Press in 2021, and her second book, Prosthetics & Other Organs is forthcoming on Dancing Girl Press. Her poetry has been published in various outlets such as Crazyhorse, South Carolina Review, Soundings East, Crab Fat Magazine, Streetlight Press, and the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. She divides her time between Boston, MA and Madison, WI.
