About the Writer
Jessica Neutz is a writer of dark fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. For over 20 years, she has been reading what the body reveals — the stories hidden in silence, the beauty that lives in unease.
Her work explores the spaces where comfort breaks down and something truer emerges. She writes about the things we don't talk about at dinner parties — grief, desire, the strange logic of dreams, the violence of memory.
"The demand that writing be comfortable is a demand that it be useless."
