edit data

Oz Paszkiewicz, currently resides in South Carolina, but will always think of Buffalo, New York as their home. Paszkiewicz graduated from the University of North Carolina at Asheville in 2018 with a degree in English, creative writing, and graduated in 2020 from North Carolina Central University with a Masters in library science. They are currently living the dream as a librarian.
Poetry, for them, has always been about the release. The extremity of emotion is like a writer’s high, and writing is the process of sobering up.
Their poetry can be found in THAT Literary Review, Queen Mobs Tea House, Headwaters, Flora Fiction, Angel Rust, Ghost City Review (Published under Kali/ Koen.)
