Charlie Lou Evans is engaged in a eternal battle with a six foot rainbow snake that lives in his pants. But when he's not doing that, he writes poetry.

He grew up in a small town in New Jersey, majored in multimedia journalism and creative writing at Virginia Tech, spent two consecutive summers thru-hiking the Appalachian and Pacific Crest Trail and now lives in Bellingham, Washington.

Charlie placed second in the 2025 Salish Sea Poetry Slam. His first poetry chapbook, Gay Sex, will be released by Sibling Rivalry Press in June 2026. The chapbook traces his journey from sexual abuse to queer liberation.
