Vincent Herrington

Vincent Herrington (they/them) is a white nonbinary poet currently living on Wabanaki land. They were the winner of the 2023 Plunkett Poetry Festival's undergraduate student award and their work was featured at the 2024 Belfast Poetry Festival as part of the Trans Poetics Archive project. Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, they have lived in Maine since 2021, when they were moved to a residential therapeutic program in Portland after a years-long struggle with depression, suicidality, and post-traumatic stress. They are currently a senior seeking an English degree at USM, and if all goes well, they will have graduated by the time you are reading this. They hope their writing moves you in whatever direction you need to be moved.
