Julia Figliotti 

Julia Figliotti (she/her) is a poet, singer-songwriter, and published author living in Western New York with her husband, cats, and reptiles. When she's not hunched over a notebook or making up melodies, Julia justifies her existence in a world determined to equate production and worth by soil toiling in other people’s gardens, reading trivia for high school quiz bowl competitions, and performing in a kick-ass Fleetwood Mac tribute band. Her dream is to attract the interest of a wealthy patron, who will fund her passion for creating poetry and music that reaches into the human experience and pulls out the guts for all to see.
