Raised on the Southern Gothic, Ariana is an experimental poet and writer, wannabe zine queen, and intersectional activist. While not from the literal bayou, the self-proclaimed “swamp baby” hails from Louisiana and is Florida-raised. (Five minutes from Gatorland and evacuated from the playground because of a bobcat Florida raised.) She received her B.A. in English Language and Literature from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida where she also studied sociology and music. She has been published in various zines, lit journals, and, closest to her heart, Burrow Press’ BP Review.
