Jenna Marie Fletcher is a writer, talker and chronic-dabbler based out of Portland, OR. She’s mostly interested in one-hit wonders (and how to make them), vaguely romantic experiences, sharp things, and telling a good story. Her work circles around the messy intersections of race, queerness, and chronic illness. Poetry, essays and weird art can be found all over the internet and in print; many different places all with the same aim–to try to take up space and to take up space by trying. whatsmineisyrs.com
