Elder Gideon

Elder Gideon is queer who writes from a metaphysical urgency. He holds an MFA in poetry, keeps a decades-long iconography practice, teaches high school English to underrepresented students, and is in discipleship learning the oral tradition of a Gnostic master, Tau Malachi, with whom he co-authored Gnosis of Guadalupe (EPS Press, 2017).
Elder Gideon thrives in collaboration. He produced and performed his chapbook Owl Songs set to original music by Sean Wall. This is available on all music streaming services. Collaborating with Sean Wall and Canadian filmmaker Bevan Klassen, Elder Gideon produced and narrated an experimental documentary “Dark Before Dawn,” which debuted with Woven Tale Press in Summer 2020.
“Mis Quinces II & I” comes from his first poetry manuscript Aegis of Waves, an intertextual weave of science, spirituality, and coming-of-age narratives published by Atmosphere Press in 2021.
