Silas Maxwell Switzer is a musician, poet, and history student who's dedicated to exploring and preserving the local queer history in Pittsburgh, PA, his lifelong home. In his effort to emulate the noble possum, Silas has recently taken to allowing himself to be coaxed out of his hiding spots by pieces of interesting trash, an interest which he calls "digital archiving." His chapbook, Nine Parts Water, One Part Bleach came out in 2023 from Main Street Rag.
