Tracy Fuad is a poet and writer based in Berlin. Her second collection of poetry, PORTAL (University of Chicago Press, 2024; the87press, 2026), won the Phoenix Emerging Poets’ Prize. A 2023 National Endowment for the Arts Fellow, Fuad’s poems have appeared in The Paris Review, The Yale Review, Poetry Daily, and Poem-a-Day and have been translated into Kurdish, Turkish, German, and Spanish. She lives in Berlin, where she teaches poetry and directs the Berlin Writers’ Workshop. She is currently at work on a novel.

Being more “connected” than ever to the world, there can be a strange sensation in trying to determine where we end and where everything else begins. Fuad is the poet of this porous feeling, and she follows the tides of that ever-changing boundary. With its inventive, precise language, PORTAL makes clarity from noise. ―Paris Review
