Tracy Royce is probably pursuing her ideal lifestyle at this very moment, wearing sloppy sweats and tinkering with her latest cento or erasure poem. You can find her words in Bending Genres, Dadakuku, The Ekphrastic Review, MacQueen’s Quinterly, Villain Era, and elsewhere. When she isn’t writing, she is romping around the mountains of Southern California or watching a Richard Widmark movie. Or posting on Bluesky. @tracyroyce.bsky.social.
