Whilst I am Finland born and raised; poetry is what connects me to those who came before me while my stories explore the deep depths of my sleep-overloaded imagination.

S. E. Thomson (he/him/they) is an autistic, disabled, queer, unapologetically chaotic trans man. Born in the 1980s and held together with caffeine, neoprene, and dark humor, he’s lived in many places, worn many hats, and collected more life experience than strictly recommended. He writes to connect to others and to create the kind of stories he wishes he'd seen growing up: affirming, joyful, and sometimes devastating; always authentic. Believing in radical honesty, gentle rebellion, and the healing power of saying, “Hey, me too,” S. E. is here to speak with just enough snark to try to make it hurt a little less.
