Author Biography
Katie Haegele lives in Philadelphia, where she writes and works at a linguistic research lab. She has written dozens of zines and three books, and her personal and critical essays have run in a variety of publications. Together with her husband Joseph Carlough, she runs a zine library called the East Falls Zine Reading Room, where they host performances by poets, storytellers, and musicians. She is also, of course, a passionate kitchen witch, and loves foraging for the natural materials she uses to decorate her home.

She tears through books on topics such as critical theory, the history of science, and whatever she has just heard about on NPR. As a nature enthusiast she spends a lot of time studying changes in the garden and observing wildlife in the backyard, noting the comings and goings of the squirrels like a nosy neighbor. When the kitchen isn't covered in the remnants of a DIY experiment, she's in there channeling her German grandmothers as she bakes.
