Bio:
Payton is a multiracial writer hailing from the backwoods of Arkansas who has called Oceanside home for the last six years. She is a first-generation college undergraduate at CSUSM, majoring in Literature and Writing Studies. Payton’s neurospicy brain finds comfort in writing dark, whimsy poetry that showcases the sweetest and most bitter moments of life. Never one to shy away from experimenting, she is partial to nontraditional hybrid forms and dabbles in spoken word poetry. In a typical hoarder fashion, she saves every slip of writing on the off chance she will one day write a book.
