Jesse William Olson is a poet and speculative fiction writer. Pronouns are he/they. Basically from Wisconsin, though life has included time in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Brooklyn, and now the suburbs of Chicago. Ace/demi, not keen on gender, ADHD, anticipatory anxiety, interest in water and video games and relationships and honesty, and currently definitely hyper-focusing on gardening with native plants.

Flying Takes a Commitment from the Whole Body, a first collection of poetry, is available on Amazon, and my second book of poetry will be released shortly. A large collection of my fiction and poetry is available for free or for a token monthly donation at Patreon. This includes a draft of the novel, Scorch, and the entire Aliger Trace series of short stories, as well as many other sci-fi and fantasy stories. Various other short stories are online in collections and journals.
