Eva Alter, poet
About
Eva Alter is a poet, theorist, and cataloging librarian whose work transforms psychological rupture and information systems into poetic architecture. She approaches poetry via a post-confessional, ontoformalist approach, utilizing metadata structures, formal constraint, and theological frameworks to systematically process trauma, theological crisis, and fractured identity.
Her debut chapbook, Autocartographies (Eulogy Press, 2025), maps fragmented memory and identity through recursive blank verse, catalog grammar, and archival logic. It will be published in physical and digital form by Eulogy Press in early October 2025, with sales beginning this summer.
Her work appears or is forthcoming in American Poetry Journal, wildscape. literary journal, scaffold literary journal, Appalachian Journal, Maudlin House, Wild Roof Journal, and elsewhere.
