Sonya Vatomsky Interview at Tiny Donkey

I’m so excited to have had the chance to interview Sonya Vatomsky, my favorite poet, for Tiny Donkey! Check out what Sonya has to say about Russian fairy tales, and get some bonus beet recipes too, right here.

Sonya Vatomsky is a Russian American non-binary artist, born in Moscow in 1985. Sonya currently lives in Seattle with their cat, Magpie Underfoot, and a growing collection of taxidermy, wet specimens, and other oddities. Salt Is For Curing(Sator Press, 2015) is their full-length debut — a poetry collection about bones, dill, and survival. Sonya’s poems, essays, and interviews have appeared in Entropy, Lodown, The Hairpin, VIDA, The Poetry Foundation, and other publications, and their chapbook My Heart In Aspic is available from Porkbelly Press. They hold a BA in Linguistics with minors in German Linguistics and Finnish from the University of Washington.
