basalt hsulabors between Brooklyn and the many-headed Bay Areas. They write from the detritus of the u.s. war machine. Their work has been supported by Millay Arts and Tin House Summer Scholarship, and named a finalist for Wendy’s Subway’s Carolyn Bush Award. A 2025–2026 Poetry Project Fellow, basalt writes for a world freed from capital and the money-form, for the death of empire and its war games.
