Meet the Author

Between their book addicted teenage years and the fixation on storytelling trough rhyme, Vermilion was always bound to be a writer.

Add in their desire to always express themselves louder and louder, and we land ourselves at drag-queen poetry.

Vermilion, previously performing spoken word as “Keanu Neral” for over 5 years now has both a performance award “POC choice award” under their belt and a performance track record of countless events, from festivals to more private and cozy.

The recent switch from performer to author (who performs on the side) is a dream long in the making, preferably with no end in sight.

Debut book “The Consequences Of Flirting With A Poet” launches this new corner of their writing career, and will be followed up by many more titles.
