Fede Kong-Gonzalez

Job title: 
2023 ARC Fellow - Poetry & the Senses
Bio/CV: 

Fede thinks about dragons, wings, wishes, coincidences, spirals, knots, seeds, breath. They’re only at the beginning of their journey with poetry and the arts at large–an exciting prospect. Their poetry is informed by their queer-chinese-latine identity and they find that art-making is a restorative process. They always emerge from a project having pulled out something they could never quite grab at before. Fede loves love, being undone, and a good string. For the new year they plan to do a bird watching Big Year, learn balance, and be in conversation.

Fede was an ARC Fellow in Fall & Spring 2023 with the Poetry & the Senses initiative – they were chosen in the Undergraduate Student Fellow category.
