emet ezell (b. 1995, Texas, USA) is a visual artist and writer based in Berlin, Germany. Their work explores themes of devotion, dispossession, ruin, and return.

Winner of the 2021 Gloria E. Anzaldúa Poetry Prize, ezell’s writing has been featured in The American Poetry Review, Los Angeles Review of Books, Poetry Daily, and Hand Papermaking Magazine, and their poems have been translated into Latvian, German, Hebrew, and Polish. Their first solo-exhibition, entitled Destruction Is and Is Not Forever, debuted last summer at the Sabile Arts and Culture Center of Latvia. ezell is currently an artist fellow in the 2026 New Jewish Culture Fellowship.
