Camonghne Felix

“To do my best work in politics, I have to think poetically. And to do my best work in poetry, I have to think politically.”

Down Arrow

“Felix is an applaudable master of language, inventively carving and pulling at words and sounds to assemble the parts of this story. Here is a voice that commands, insists, reiterates, and consumes—a voice that has earned its right to shout freely, with curiosity and aliveness and heart.”—Morgan Parker

Camonghne Felix is a poet, essayist, political strategist, and cultural worker.

She is the author of Build Yourself a Boat, which was long-listed for the 2019 National Book Award in Poetry, a finalist for the PEN/Open Book Awards, and a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award. Camonghne is also the author of Dyscalculia: A Love Story of Epic Miscalculation, which negotiates the misalignments of perception and reality, love and harm, and the politics of heartbreak, both romantic and familial. Her poetry has appeared in Academy of American Poets, Harvard Review, LitHub, PEN America, Poetry Magazine, and elsewhere. Her essays have been featured in Vanity Fair, New York Magazine, Teen Vogue and other places.

Formerly the Director of Surrogates & Strategic Communications at Elizabeth Warren for President, and the former Head of Strategic Communications at Blue State and Blue State Campaigns, Camonghne has also spent time as a seasoned political communications operative and commentator.

Camonghne is currently working on a collection of essays, Let the Poets Govern forthcoming from One World. She lives in Washington D.C.
