Profile

J. C. Runolfson is a poet, fantasist, reviewer, amateur folklorist, voracious reader, unapologetic feminist, and would-be revolutionary. It's a hallmark of her work that weirdness wins, every time. She'd also live in the ocean if she could breathe underwater and her laptop wouldn't short out.

J. C. Runolfson's published work to date:
