*ABOUT OUR FEATURE*
Raggedy Andey is an abandoned house obsessed poet and mentor from Santa Cruz. Her highly anticipated new book, Slaughterhouse Ballroom, follows a string of celebrated publications; Portrait of an Infection, The Powder Room, and My Body That Comes Off in Pieces. This latest book is a veneration of her muse, the body and spirit of abandoned houses, and the secrets they protect. In addition to her written works, she was grand-slam champion of Santa Cruz in 2015, joining her team at the National Poetry Slam in Oakland where they placed in the top 5 overall. She went on to sweep the Southwest Shootout in 2018, winning the individual competition, as well as the group competition alongside her fellow Santa Cruz teammates. Today, she organizes an exclusive poetry series celebrating the craft of writing, and spends her days basking in the sun with her little dog Frank. Her favorite word is avid.
