Red Emma’s

Hillary Gonzalez (she/they) is a queer, genderfluid, and AuDHD ecopoet and activist, whose work explores themes of identity and healing. Writing from the unique perspective of a birder, Hillary's poetry draws deeply from personal experiences in forests, marshes, and mountains–weaving together reflections on the natural world with a call to protect it. Growing up on a farm in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia, it was there where Hillary’s love of nature was kindled. They are the author of the poetry collections, Seasons, Wild, Unfelt World (Gnashing Teeth Publishing), and Where the Osprey Nest (Palewell Press). Their poems have been published by South Broadway Press, Canid Press, and in the following anthologies: Bi All Accounts (Bi+ Book Gang) , Unfurl (Yellow Arrow Publishing), In Praise of Despair (Beyond the Veil Press), The Body Archive (Cosmic Daffodil Journal), and Understory (Loblolly Press), a fundraising zine to benefit the victims of Hurricane Helene. Hillary lives in Baltimore, MD, with their husband and dog Wilbur, where they continue to connect with readers on the intersections of neurodivergence, queerness, disability, and environmental advocacy.
