Lucas Scheelk (they/them) is an autistic queer white Jew. They’re a Pushcart Prize nominated poet, and a degree-less college-dropout. If you’re a Halachic Daydream, a collector of Special Interest Badges, love literary mashups, or in search of prayers inside pomegranate seeds, Scheelk’s poetry may be for you! You can find their work in Taco Bell Quarterly, Autonomous Press, QDA: A Queer Disability Anthology, Pandemic Publications, Rejection Letters, scissors & spackle, queerlings, Mollyhouse, Stone of Madness Press, and the Bare (one’s) Breast Postcard Project, among others.
