Joey Conley is currently pursuing a BFA at George Mason University. After leaving high school and navigating the turbulence of their twenties, Joey embarked on a journey of transformation—marrying, raising a family, and traveling the world. Through a feminist awakening and as a survivor of a violent crime, Joey’s writing delves deeply into themes of personal evolution. Their poetry captures the rawness of past struggles and the resilience that followed, tracing the arc of who they were, who they’ve become, and the woman they are still transforming into, creating work that resonates with meaning and depth.
