Audrey Birzell

Audrey Birzell’s writing is often infused with metaphors drawn from anatomy and science—fields that deeply inspire her perspective. She finds beauty in the natural order of the world and poetry in the parallels between human experience and the universe itself. For Audrey, remembering that “we’re all made of stardust” is both grounding and generative, shaping not only her creative writing but also her formal essays, where science frequently weaves into her voice and vision.

When creative blocks arise, Audrey steps away to reset—taking walks, reading, or letting her mind wander with music until inspiration returns naturally. She believes creativity flows in cycles, and that patience is key.

Her advice to new writers and artists is simple but heartfelt: “Be patient with yourself. And remember—a good cup of hot chocolate can solve anything.”
