About Sunshine


Sunshine (they/them) is a queer Kentuckiana poet who first enjoyed a career as a Speech-Language Pathologist before pursuing poetry. Whether as a clinician or poet, Sunshine believes in the restorative and contagious powers of self-expression. They are dedicated to sharing that power with others through their writing and monthly writing workshop– Golden Hours.

Sunshine's first full-length work, Lye, is forthcoming in 2025 with Fernwood Press. You'll also find Sunshine's work published in Sarabande's anthology Once a City Said, and literary magazines such as Fatal Flaw, Major 7th Magazine, Rogue Agent, local zines, and more.
