Madison Mae Parker (RSME/T, MFA) is a writer, performer, ritual artist, somatic educator, and space-maker. Voted as best poet in Kansas City, Missouri in 2022 by The Pitch Magazine, she finds deep belonging in the stretching of language through poetry and questioning where a poem might long to live. Having toured and taught internationally with her poetry in Europe, Singapore, and Australia, she feels most at ease while performing and facilitating rituals and conversations around the things that make us human. In addition to holding an MFA in Performance from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, they recently received an expressive arts therapy certification through the Tamalpa Institute (2023). When they are not art-ing, you can find her watching anime and eating Hot Cheetos with her cats MeowZaki and Magic Conch Shell.
