about the writer: kelly gray
Kelly Gray is a writer, naturalist and educator living among the redwood trees on occupied Coast Miwok land in Northern California. She is mother to a fiery daughter, two perfect cats and one untamable dog. Her writing digs into the tension between loss and survival and what it means to decenter the human narrative during cycles of grief. She has been published in sPARKLE & bLINK, Burning House Press, among other publications, and is a CalArts scholar in creative writing. On her day off, Kelly is a raptor handler who brings birds of prey into schools and public events, telling stories of falcons, owls and vultures to all who will listen.
