blake nemec is a writer, teacher, and sound/media artist based in Chicago whose work extends the extraordinary musicality of everyday conversations by unprotected workers, pansexuals, and gender variant people. His work has been featured in journals, anthologies, festivals or conferences such as &NOW, NOPF, JUPITER 88, Red Rover Reading Series, the Rio Grande Review, Captive Genders, or the San Francisco Queer Arts Performance Festival. He received an MFA in bilingual (Spanish and English) poetry/fiction from the University of Texas at El Paso and is a Lambda Literary Fellow. He has long worked as a sound recordist in queer independent movies, the latest being the documentary FREE CeCE!

Collaboration is a potent force his work gushes from, most recently audible in the sound performance project, Moly B Denim.
