Joy Hazel is a writer, poet, occasional musician, and compulsive metaphor-maker who specializes in themes of identity, trauma, and morality. Their work often features morally gray characters, queer narratives, and a whole lot of screamed-out pain (lol). They've been published in Rewrite the Stars Literary, won the same local literary competition twice, and have a debut album, Nothing Gold Can Stay, currently live on Spotify.
