Andi Günther, Founder/Editor in Chief, (they/she) is a poet, instructor, and community arts organizer who writes as a form of self-translation, exploring the body as an archive and threshold. Their poetry is a series of negotiations with grief, sexuality, language, and God; with the self as something intermittently inhabitable.
Andi is the founder and editor-in-chief of Winterfat Presse, a feminist poetry collective, reading room, and publication based in New York City. They live between Brooklyn and Berlin, and hold a BFA in Writing from Pratt Institute.
Emil Byun, Stage Manager, is a New Haven/Brooklyn based designer working in contemporary performance and sculpture. Her practice centers on spatial storytelling and explores how designed environments can act as living collaborators to shape narrative rather than simply framing a stage. Emil values process driven, hands-on making and serves to uphold poetic experimentation to help others connect to their voice. As the Stage Manager for Winterfat Presse, she designs adaptable backdrops that renegotiate and elevate given space.
Nya Morgan, Outreach Coordinator, (she/her) is a writer, filmmaker, and linguistic traveler born in Washington, DC and based in Brooklyn. She creates with a self-reflexive candor, beckoning audiences into her emotional body with her use of diaristic prose and materials from her decades spanning personal archive.
By recirculating dissident narratives through Winterfat Presse, Nya seeks to expand upon the wisdom of her Black and Brown literary foremothers, nurturing a collective whose work bridges contemporary ideas of embodiment, lesbian identity, abjection, and intersectionality with the recorded revelations of the pioneering female writers who birthed her.
Lucille Lindberg, Art Editor/Resident Artist, is a visual artist and poet based in Brooklyn, NY. Her work pursues ritual connectivity by exchanging intimacies like dreams and tattoos, employing a restless, automatically guided hand to build worlds from embodied intuition. As art editor for Winterfat Presse she is interested in building a visual vocabulary to aid the magazine in its fullest expression, following the symbolic languages of plant medicine and weaving practices as guides toward transformation and community.
Shakori Carpenter, Magazine Editor, is a being that seeks to make physical, digital, and mythical conditions make sense simultaneously. Equipped with an architecture degree, Black Southern heritage, and a slew of personae, they work to continually reiterate systematic notions of a seemingly singular binary existence. Exercising the mind through writing and digio-physical performances, Shakori's work examines a range of materials across history, culture, gender, race, design, media, algorithms, and hardware to commune with current "ways that are” as a means of invigorating “ways that can be.”
