Raised by both the swamps of Pomouik and Lumbee lands in eastern Carolina and the Hérault river of Languedoc, France, they are a sixth-generation settler currently residing on unceded Cherokee territory (colonially known as Asheville, North Carolina). As a writer, teacher, and facilitator, their work orbits entanglement, queer ecologies, belonging, and what it means to be in relationship with a land settled by their ancestors. They believe in writing as a tool for ecological intimacy, ancestral reckoning, and personal and collective liberation. Zoë holds an MFA in environmental writing from Iowa State University; their work has been Pushcart, Best of the Net, and Best New Poets nominated, featured or forthcoming in places such as Center for Humans and Nature, Southern Humanities, Ninth Letter, VIDA, Muzzle, Terrain, Hayden’s Ferry Review, and Poet Lore, and gathered into a chapbook, Bird Body, winner of Cordella Press’ inaugural Gwendolyn Brooks Poetry Prize. They are an aluma of the Santa Fe Art Institute, Tin House, Orion workshops, Sundress Academy of the Arts, and have received support from the Science Museum of Minnesota, Black Lawrence Press, and others. They recently served as the 2024 - 25 fellow for the Hellbender Gathering of Poets, and currently facilitate the Spiritual Ecology Study Club facilitator at advaya. They are a student of belonging and embodied relationship to land who believes in slowness, reciprocal relationship with place and people, and queer, decolonized, kincentric futures. https://www.zoefaystindt.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-04-26 https://www.zoefaystindt.com/birdbody daily 0.75 2025-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f2cc6b40566d66683939f3/dbcb9ff3-15a0-4328-ae8f-ad70bb8491bf/Screen+Shot+2022-08-24+at+5.26.03+PM.png https://www.zoefaystindt.com/essays-reviews daily 0.75 2026-04-09 https://www.zoefaystindt.com/poems1 daily 0.75 2026-01-05 https://www.zoefaystindt.com/editing daily 0.75 2026-04-26 https://www.zoefaystindt.com/editing-1 daily 0.75 2026-01-17 https://www.zoefaystindt.com/lexiconforanimacy daily 0.75 2026-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f2cc6b40566d66683939f3/b576d444-dfb0-4a0b-9e88-bd8acae15aef/9.png https://www.zoefaystindt.com/bookstore daily 0.75 2022-08-05
