Luk
Creative Writing
“From eulogies to girlhood to odes to birth control, "ok girl." is a collection of zines that explores femininity and the shame that perpetually permeates being a woman through deeply personal anecdotes recounted in poetry and intimate self-portraits that aren't always portraits. ”
Frances Luk (she/her), also sometimes known as Sam Mercy, is a proficiency collector: nocturnal poet, storycrafter in her dreams, obsessive photographer, amateur zinester, and professional sentence runner-on-er. You can catch her daydreaming about how much angst she can fit in her new D&D character on the Lakeshore West line.
