My name is Taylor Franson-Thiel and I’m a poet from Utah. I have an MFA in poetry from GMU. Some important things about me that don’t go in a typical author bio:
-I married my partner in May 2022. We met on a dating app, lol. I had our first baby in April of 2026.
-Cheese pizza is my favorite food.
-I played Division 1 Women’s college basketball at USU from 2017-2022 and I’m currently a powerlifter/olympic lifter. Athletics as somatics!
-Ok thanks for being here, wishing you well!!!!!
