Grady VanWright
Grady VanWright is a poet, author, and playwright based in Houston, Texas. He writes in a style he calls muscular lyricism—a fusion of Hemingway’s grit, Joyce’s lyricism, and Camus’ philosophy of the absurd, where clarity and compression meet rhythm and existential depth.
His poems balance strength and tenderness, silence and rhythm, absurdity and hope. His work has appeared in Washington Square Review (2025), The McNeese Review, South Florida Poetry Journal, Oddball Magazine, Blood+Honey, Querencia Press, Phil Lit Journal, The Genre Society, The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature, Sheila-Na-Gig, Mayday Magazine, The ManifestStation Magazine, and other literary journals.
He is a member of The Authors Guild and The Poetry Society of New York.
