H. G. Dierdorff is a poet from the scablands and pine savannas of eastern Washington, the ancestral, unceded land of the interior Salish people. She is the author of Rain, Wind, Thunder, Fire, Daughter, which was selected for the 2022 Betsy Joiner Flanagan Award in Poetry and is forthcoming from the University of Nevada Press in 2024. You can find them in Portland, Oregon, where they live with their occasionally feral black cat and pretend to work on crafts.
