Vayl Luella Larkin is a trans, nonbinary, wheelchair-enhanced writer and all-purpose nerd. An upstate New York native, past employment ranges from Opera Singer to Exotic Dancer, but they have settled happily in Pittsburgh, where they write poetry, short fiction, theater, and sometimes impassioned essays.

Their creative work often explores scientific ideas and metaphors, as well as their experience as part of historically marginalized communities. Social justice, for both people and the planet, is a prominent theme.

They have been published in journals like Drunk Monkeys, several anthologies, including, Love Letters to Gaia, they received a 2021 Brooklyn Poets fellowship, and their multimedia work with Deaf actor Crom Saunders has been featured through multiple programs. Their first play, a one-act titled Words of the Prophets, premieres in April 2023 at Nancy Manocherian's the cell theatre in Chelsea, Manhattan.
