Carrie Farrar
Carrie Farrar is an emerging poet and essayist whose work explores neurodivergence, memory, and the fragile architectures of belonging. A lifelong Californian, Carrie writes from the edges of Los Angeles, its wetlands, freeways, and fault lines becoming recurring landscapes in her work. Her poems and prose often weave childhood trauma with moments of startling tenderness, using lyric language to illuminate the quiet, interior worlds shaped by autism, grief, and resilience. As an emerging writer, Carrie is committed to building a body of work that honors the unseen, the unspoken, and the parts of the self that are often asked to stay quiet. When she isn’t writing, she is usually listening deeply; to music, to the subtleties of human behavior, and to the rhythms of her own mind, always searching for the next line that will carry her forward.
