Hello!
Kari Kraakevik is a composer and writer whose prose carries the same architectural precision as her music.
Her debut work of literary autofiction, Boobs, Ballads, and Becoming (working title), is currently in beta reads and editorial development as she begins the querying process. She is also editing a second novel, The Girl Who Walked Through Glass, and developing Real Kids Club, a children’s picture book series inspired by real classroom experiences.
Her writing explores girlhood, identity, endurance, neurodivergence, and embodiment — often structured with the movement and motif of a musical score.
Her essays and creative nonfiction have appeared or are forthcoming in The Thinking Person’s Guide to Autism, Larina’s Lit Lounge, and Infocalypse Arts & Literary Magazine.
Boxes
Boxes is a lyrical creative nonfiction essay about movement, neurodivergence, survival, and the quiet ways we build safety inside unstable spaces. Through nearly twenty moves, unpacked boxes, and the collapse of a marriage, Kari Burroughs Kraakevik explores what it means to finally choose a home — and stay.
