about
Bridget Gordon (she/her, fae/faer) is a queer trans woman and emerging poet living in Chicago. A former MFA student and current healthcare worker, her poetry, songwriting, and short-form prose is enraptured with queer longing, identity, liminality, and desire. She has past or forthcoming publications in Moist Poetry Journal, Milwaukee Avenue Messenger, TRANS MAG, Coin-Operated Press, Pitymilk Press, and Red Rock Review. Fae is the author of two poetry collections: if you know the color of their eyes it’s already too late (Raging Opossum Press, 2026), and the rest is up to you, love (self-published, 2026). Fae lives with her husband, metamour, cats, a blue electric guitar named Evie, and an ominously large TBR pile.
