About Eva

Eva Alter is a poet and cataloger of internal mythologies—her work inhabits the boundaries between identity, memory, and language. She views the mind as an archive and makes sense of survival through recursive syntax. Drawing from biblical cadence, psychiatric vocabulary, myth, glitch aesthetics, and information science, she constructs poems as sites of witness, reclassification, and protective erasure. In Eva Alter’s world, trauma doesn’t unfold linearly. It loops, distorts, and refracts. Her poems resist standard confession in favor of structural architecture—they index, encrypt, and resurrect.
