Anis Gisele is an artist and a slow burn. Their collection I do not hate myself for wanting is forthcoming from Floating Bridge Press. Their writing has earned support from Row House Publishing/Generous Press, VONA/Voices, Planned Parenthood, Everyday Feminism, WA State Arts Commission, King County's Equity and Social Justice Initiative, Seattle Public Library, 4Culture, Artist Trust, and many more. They write about survival, which is to say, they write about returning. They are disliked, disbelieved, and less and less afraid.
