THE CRIMSON COYOTE EPISODE #6: TYLER VILE

The Crimson Coyote podcast welcomes writer, performer, and organizer TYLER VILE to Episode #6! 

Tyler Vile is a writer, performer, and organizer from Baltimore, MD whose novel-in-verse, Never Coming Home, is available on Topside Press. She is a founding member of Hinenu: The Baltimore Justice Shtiebl, a radically inclusive synagogue.  Her work has appeared in the Lambda Literary Award nominated anthology, Resilience, published by Heartspark Press, as well as the magazines Femmescapes, Beltway Poetry Quarterly, and Rogue Agent.

I met Tyler through a writing community spearheaded by our very talented friend, Isobel O’Hare. Tyler is– forgive my expression– punk as fuck. She has existed on the margins for her entire life; a physically disabled trans woman and trauma survivor. She’s an activist who performed vocals in a band called Anti-Androgen, with songs like “Buffalo Bill,” where she would conclude her set by shouting, “Goodbye, horses!” She also dabbles in divination, and you can book a tarot reading with her at Dvar Tarot. Did I mention that she has the cutest ears!

*Trigger Warning: In this episode, there is discussion of sexual, physical, and psychological abuse, so if you believe that this conversation will be traumatizing, please reconsider listening.

You can find Tyler on Twitter and Facebook.
