Madison Mae Parker

(she/her) is an artist, a performer, and a space-maker. Holding a BA from Texas A&M University in English Creative Writing, she owes her loud vocals and rambunctious laughter to her Texas roots. Her previous work has led her to Charlotte Street Foundation, Mic Check Poetry, serving as President, and Texas Grand Slam Poetry Festival as Director, along with other residencies and community organizing work. Having toured and taught internationally with her poetry in Australia, Europe, Canada, and Singapore, she feels most at ease while performing and facilitating rituals and conversations around the things that make us human. As a relational performer, she does not separate the audience from the performance, rather seeking to bridge the divide by integrating movement, text, and visual art. She is currently enrolled in the Tamalpa Institute to receive an Expressive Arts Therapy Certification (2024). When she is not art-ing, you can find her watching anime and eating Hot Cheetos with her cats MeowZaki and Mochi.

Madi Mae Parker is an enigmatic dream—full stop. She’s the writer’s writer, unafraid to seek guidance and inspiration from her convictions, a rarity in a field of art priding impression over substance. Madi commands a truthful and well-crafted exchange between writer and reader, artist and audience. Simply put, she is woman, she is water, and her authoritative and exploratory work forces us to seek our own revelatory shores.
