Mikayla Coleman (she/her/hers) is an interdisciplinary artist and writer currently located in Eugene, Oregon.

Mikayla is an Associate Poetry Editor and Staff Writer for The Vagabond’s Verse. Her recent articles can be read on The Second Thoughts Blog.

Her recent creative work focuses on perceiving and interacting with the world through a neurodivergent, feminine lens, often including visual or interactive elements. She is fascinated by all things analog, tactile, and mixed-medium, with a focus on film photography and fiber arts.

Mikayla received her BA in English and Art & Design from Western Oregon University and her MFA in Creative Writing & Poetics from University of Washington Bothell.

When she is not writing, you can find her scouring aisles for second-hand materials at thrift stores, working as a barista at a local café, and fawning over her beloved cats, Fern & Clover.
