Eve Elizabeth Moriarty is a Digital Humanities professional and part-time PhD student at Swansea University. Since being highly commended in the 2013 Terry Hetherington Award, her work has regularly appeared in Cheval, the annual Parthian anthology of its strongest entrants. She won second place in the 2015 Welsh Writers’ Trust Robin Reeves Award for young writers and was a Literature Wales Bursary recipient in 2017. Most recently, her pamphlet Corpora was longlisted for the Frosted Fire First Pamphlet Competition 2020.
For many years Eve ran Howl, a long-running twice monthly spoken word evening in Swansea, and now hosts occasional literary events such as book launches and writing workshops, including teaching creative writing for Swansea University and Swansea Council’s collaborative FUSION Project.
Eve’s writing, from poetry to personal essays, fan studies and media criticism, has appeared widely in on-and-offline publications such as The Cardiff Review, Room 207 Press, Cultbox and One Week One Band, as well as zines such as FWYL and In Other Words, the latter of which she also edited.
When she isn’t writing, Eve is an anti-austerity activist, a passionate feminist and trans ally, an enthusiastic home cook and a keen cyclist. She lives with endometriosis and Behçet’s syndrome, a rare autoimmune disease. Her experiences with chronic illness, depression and disability have deeply influenced her writing, which variously focuses on trauma, religion and the supernatural, sexuality, relationships, failures of communication and the body itself. She’s a lot more fun than this description makes her sound.
