Brit Parks is an American poet, writer, artist, and scholar living in Europe and The States. She engages her poetry, writing, and art poetics as a study of language itself whilst discussing abstracts of ephemerality, materialism, and vulnerable myths. GLASS LIMBS, her first full-length poetry book, was released in 2021. Her forthcoming book, STONE AMNESIA, will feature a collection of poetry and art poetics. She has published upwards of 40 poems in international print publications including, three in The London Magazine, twelve in ALBION AN ISLAND ON THE VERGE OF MADNESS by New River Press, and five in SMEAR by edited by Greta Bellamacina. Her art poetics are featured in the Japanese photography book MONO and London-based DOESN’T EXIST MAGAZINE. She has served as the Art Editor and Features Writer for Europe-based UNPOLISHED MAGAZINE since 2018. Parks has contributed work to THE VIOLET BOOK, TEETH Magazine, FLAUNT Magazine, and Vogue Poland. She has read her poetry at Shakespeare and Company Paris and Café Central Menorca in Spain. Internationally, her print features include astral subjects Jack Coulter, Faye Wei Wei, Robert Montgomery, Poppy Field, Greta Bellamacina, Alexa Chung, Scarlett Sabet, Say Lou Lou, Tobias Spichtig, Sofia Fanego, Del Water Gap, and Harley Cortez.

‘Brit's work is a music of regret. What I see in it is a special kind of Generation X melancholy, but pulled through centuries of European culture, with the ghosts of Baroque music and Symbolist painting in it— an American parking lot seen through the veil of a Puvis de Chavannes painting, and tears. She is absolutely my favourite American poet of now.’

—Robert Montgomery, Artist, Poet

An ardent scholar of Colour Pigment History, Rare Books, Archeology, and Art Theory, she received her Master of Fine Arts in Writing and Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she was a recipient of the Edes Fellowship.

She recently lived on The Mediterranean Sea in Islas Baleares, España for two years. Parks is currently a scholar at The Oxford School of Poetry where she is pursuing poetic materialism.

‘Brit Parks writes with a magic luminosity. The heart of her words are worn and unexpected. They fill the page like a meteor shower, some long dead, some searching for future light, all set on fire.’
