About Wren Aubrey Latham

Wren Aubrey Latham is a playwright, digital painter, and ukulele player (also, most recently, a candlemaker). From a short story about trauma and mermaids published in Jeopardy Literary Magazine to a staged reading of his one-act play Apocalypse Roadtrip at DePaul University, Wren’s work emphasizes the alchemical power of being seen. Queerness, Blackness, femininity, and becoming are throughlines that have shone across his body of work for years. Find him at IU Bloomington as a second-year playwriting MFA candidate!
