Kayla Spencer

Kayla is based in Salt Lake City, Utah, where she teaches 7th/8th Grade English at a local charter school. She is a lifetime lover of the language arts and now dedicates herself to the noble work of convincing teenagers that reading is a privilege, writing is power, and education: a gift. When not engaged in (mostly) figurative combat with said teenagers, she's found scribbling down lines of poetry on old receipts or deep between the pages of her books—likely with a rapidly cooling cup of Earl Grey somewhere in the house. Her work also appears or is forthcoming in The Blood Pudding, Half and One, Griffel, The Raven Review, and Cathexis Northwest Press.
