is the more bite-sized moniker of Robert L Powell—writer of poetry & prose; incidental academic; sometime educator; chronic defender of mad joy & neurodivergent awareness; and stubborn advocate for the all things imaginative, queer, & kind. His work crosses a range of interests, but favors the speculative, puzzling, & peculiar. 

​​​

· R L · has worked & studied in improbably diverse fields. They have degrees in English literature & aspects of theory, from research universities fond of their reputations. They have also spent a significant amount of time ignoring common sense in different parts of the world. 

​​​​

Recently, founded an online poetry journal to showcase incidents of neuroconvergence: APROSEXIA LIT.  He is also an MFA candidate in poetry, at the Bennington Writing Seminars.
