A reintroduction

Thank you Marielle Chua for these gorg photos <3

Hello! My name is Amelia Ada. I’ve published poetry and essays under a few different names over the past 10+ years—in fact, as it stands this site is an archive of all the things I’ve written under all my dead and dying names. I love these things, if not the names, so here they’ll remain.

I’m also leaving up other past statements I’ve made about my name and my trans expressions (most notably the one about my initials from Feb 2022) as another kind of archive, of my transit. My vicissitudes and vacillations. I think it has value.

I’ve landed somewhere pretty amazing. I’m happier now than I’ve ever been. I can’t wait to get reacquainted w/ you.

xoxo

Amelia
