Rebekah M. Devine is a white, queer writer originally from the suburbs of New Jersey. Their work has appeared or is forthcoming in The Hunger Journal, P-QUEUE, Rust and Moth, and Rejection Letters, among others. They hold an MA in Biblical Exegesis from Wheaton College (2015), an MLitt in Theology, Imagination, and the Arts from the University of St Andrews (2011), and an MFA in Creative Writing from Mississippi University for Women (2023). 

Born and raised in the New Christian Right, now an anti-Zionist leftist, Rebekah thinks and writes a good deal about how religion shapes desire, identity, and memory. She is particularly interested in the influence of American evangelicalism on notions of gender, sexuality, and race. Her current working projects include a collection of poems and essays that draw out some of the Bible’s fem and queer voices, Lilith Comes Out to Adam & Sleeps the Sleep of Loosed Demons, and a novel, Tables to Unknown Gods.
