Deveree Extein

Deveree Extein is a bayou-bred word witch now writing from the West Coast. She has a penchant for picking at old wounds, turning the blood, bruises, and beautiful messes into ink. Her poetry lives somewhere between love and loss, rage and resurrection—where heavy emotions become something worth holding.

When she’s not haunting coffee shops or wandering unfamiliar streets, she can usually be found writing, thrifting, chasing live music, or spoiling her familiar, Luna.

She is the author of four published poetry collections, most recently Hurricane Her—a collection of mental health storms, survival, and the woman who emerges after the wreckage.
