Alecia Jay Davis is a poet, artist, and writer living in Denver, Colorado with her wife. Originally from Wyoming, Alecia moved to the Denver area in 2020, and is thriving at the intersection of multiple communities; LGBTQ+, faith & recovery, art, performance & writing. 

Alecia’s first artistic love is poetry, and she celebrates how it can universally be a tool of expression for lives that are otherwise hidden by oppressive forms of culture & society. Her poems are personal, political, emotional, and romantic. She doesn’t avoid tough subjects like the wounds and offerings of religion, the rewards and punishments of love, or the turmoil of being a political scapegoat. A constant theme in her work is a demand for dignity and justice for LGBTQ+ lives.

Her poems have appeared in Ink In Thirds Magazine. She was accepted into the Tin House 2024 Online Winter Workshop for her poetry. And was just awarded a seat in the Advanced Generative Workshop to be taught by Eileen Myles here in Denver at Lighthouse LitFest 2026.
