J Loretta is a poet and novelist living in Switzerland. Her writing draws on her research in international relations and the impacts of information technology on civil society, enriched by insightful observations on human complexity. She transforms sleepless nights and intense dreams into provocative, challenging, and unsettling texts, exploring the boundaries of morality, free will, and compassion, while rejecting easy answers. She enjoys open mic poetry nights in Irish pubs, feeds her inner tech geek as often as possible, and remains an optimistic gardener with moderate success.
