Enoch

Originally born and raised on the Northside of Wilmington, DE, Enoch is a poet, manga writer for series Immortal Dark, and trauma-informed teaching artist living an anime lifestyle in Philadelphia. As a mental health advocate and human living with bipolar disorder and autism, Enoch’s work investigates the emotional and spiritual nuances of the Black human experience. His goal is to create literary art and curriculum for the younger him, works that foster visibility for the unseen parts of us and, in fostering that visibility, offer some form of salve for the wounds we are still nursing. Enoch is the 2017 Philadelphia Fuze Grand Slam Champion and the author of three poetry collections, “The Guide to Drowning” published in 2017, “Burned at the Roots” published in 2020 and “I Was Close” published in 2024.
Enoch operates as the Program Director for ArtWell, a multi-disciplinary arts programming non-profit geared towards using the arts as a medium to enhance students’ social-emotional toolkit, nurture their exploration of self, and strengthen their presence in community.
