Sam Slupski (they/them) is a nonfiction writer and poet from Kansas, with roots in Texas, now living on the Olympic Peninsula. They are the author of UNTIL TENDER (Game Over Books).
Sam’s work interrogates the mental health and medical industrial complexes, the politics of care, and the wellness industry, while making space for the tender work of intergenerational healing. Living with Long COVID, Sam’s writing and disability justice work asks us to build a world where care is collective, access is ordinary, and survival is a group project.
Starting as a shy, brave slam poet, Sam went on to work with The Heart of It Writing Retreat as Director of Communications and Storytelling, St. Louis Queer Support & Healing focusing on community consciousness-raising, outreach, and communications skill-building, Austin Bat Cave as a teaching artist, and many other side quests in between. They’ve headlined events like the Melbourne Spoken Word Poetry Festival, competed in several national slam poetry competitions, toured the US and Canada, and were a Button Poetry Chapbook Contest finalist.
Sam sends out a quarterly snail mail newsletter called Slow Post. They can be found Instagram at @theyaresam and some of their past work can be read at Nourishing Notes. They are a hobby ceramicist, vegetable lover, and will always stop to take in a sunset. Sam is currently working on their next book.
