Inner Moonlight: Princess McDowell

Inner Moonlight is the monthly poetry reading series at the Wild Detectives in Dallas. Curated by Dallas poet Logen Cure, the in-person show is the second Wednesday of every month in the Wild Detectives backyard. We love our podcast fans, so we release recordings of the live performances every month for y'all! On 9/9/26, we featured writer Princess McDowell! Princess McDowell (she/they) is a multi-faceted writer and editor from Dallas, Texas. Their career spans over 20 years in journalism, performance poetry, and copywriting to both tell their unique story as a black queer storyteller and craft stories for global and local organizations. She is a two-time Pink Door literary fellow, a national and international touring poet, and as a teaching artist has run workshops and collaborated with youth literary groups across the country, producing a book of COVID-related writings with high school students in 2020. Princess has been a part of Rebellious Magazine since its relaunch in 2016; she currently serves as managing editor. Learn more at www.princessmcdowell.com. ⁠www.innermoonlightpoetry.com
