Samuel Plauché is a poet, journalist, and prose writer based in Chicago, IL. Influenced by his upbringing in rural Washington, his lived experiences, and travel, Plauché’s writing offers not an analyzation but a playful dance with love, loss, halfhearted attempts at defining “freedom,” and various other paradoxes (his favorite word) set deep within dark forests, crowded city streets, or the highways between. He has been published in CommuterLit, Black Poppy Review, and Mementos CHI. His novels As The Rain Falls and BANDIT are available for purchase on the Raging Opossum Press website, the publishing house he runs, or various Chicago bookstores like Tangible, Quimby’s, and Citylite.
