Jasmine Dreame Wagner is an American writer and multimedia artist. She is the author of On a Clear Day, a collection of poems and lyric essays deemed “a capacious book of traveler’s observations, cultural criticism, and quarter-life-crisis notes” by Stephanie Burt at The New Yorker and “a radical cultural anthropology of the wild time we’re living in” by Iris Cushing at Hyperallergic. Wagner’s collection Rings won the Kelsey Street Press Firsts! Prize and was hailed as “powerfully exercised, technically masterful, and encyclopedic in its scope” in a starred review in Publisher’s Weekly. Her collection, Intricate Rituals, is forthcoming from Omnidawn. Wagner's compositions, experimental videos, verse plays, and interdisciplinary performances investigate landscapes of climate change, gender and emerging technologies. Her work has been presented and screened at the MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology, New Ohio Theatre (New York), The Wilbury Theatre Group, The Poetry Project, BilbaoArte (Bilbao, Spain), and VASTLAB (Los Angeles). Her writing appears in American Letters & Commentary, Beloit Poetry Journal, Bennington Review, BOMB Magazine, Colorado Review, Denver Quarterly, Georgia Review, Guernica, Fence, Hyperallergic, Joyland, Minnesota Review, New American Writing, Sycamore Review, Witness, in the 2022 Short Story Advent Calendar, The Arcadia Project: North American Postmodern Pastoral and Hit Points: An Anthology of Video Game Poetry. A Connecticut Office of the Arts Fellow, Wagner is the recipient of two Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grants along with residencies from Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, The Lighthouse Works, Marble House Project, Millay Arts, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (VCCA), and The Wassaic Project. In 2020, she was awarded a WPR Creative Grant from Harvard University to work with the Woodberry Poetry Room's archives. + Contact + Publications +
