Gabriel Ojeda-Sagué is a poet and scholar, currently working as a Humanities Teaching Fellow at UChicago. He is most recently the author of Losing Miami (The Accomplices, 2019) and Madness (Nightboat Books, 2022), which was a finalist for the Publishing Triangle's Thom Gunn Award in Gay Poetry and the TS Eliot Foundation’s Four Quartets Prize. He is also author of Oil and Candle (Timeless, Infinite Light, 2016), Jazzercise is a Language (The Operating System, 2018), and is co-editor of An Excess of Quiet: Selected Sketches by Gustavo Ojeda, 1979-1989 (Soberscove Press, 2020). His poetics approach queerness, climate change, mental health, and exile from a stylistic foundation in formal experimentation and aesthetic alienation. As a scholar, his recent work can be found in the journals Porn Studies and TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly. As a teacher, he has mostly worked in the study of sexuality and experimental poetics, from his UChicago courses “Intro to Porn Studies” and “Body Genres” to his work in the Coursera MOOC "Modern and Contemporary American Poetry.”
