Biography
Becominging was born and raised in Wellington.[1] She first seriously began writing poetry in high school, after developing a passion for New Zealand hip hop artists such as Frontline and the Breakin Wreckwordz hip-hop collective, eventually realising that she was drawn to the process of writing, instead of hip-hop performance.[2] Becominging studied creative writing at Whitireia New Zealand.[2]
Together with American poet Carolyn DeCarlo, Becominging co-founded the independent publishing house We Are Babies.[2] Becominging and DeCarlo worked on a number of projects, including the eBook Twilight Zone (2013)[3] and Bound: an Ode to Falling in Love (2014), a fictionalised chapbook telling the story of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's relationship.[4] In 2015, We Are Babies released the poetry anthology Left: a Book of Words and Pictures, which featured Becominging as the work's editor.[1][5] Becominging and DeCarlo also founded the zine/poetry reading collective Food Court, which eventually expanded to become a physical store in Newtown, Wellington.[2] The store shut down in 2022.[6]
In the early 2010s, Becominging began writing the poetry collection I Am a Human Being. Halfway through the writing process, Becominging realised that she was genderqueer.[7] I Am a Human Being was eventually published by Compound Press in 2020,[8] winning the MitoQ Best First Book Award for Poetry at the 2021 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards,[9][10] and was longlisted for the Mary and Peter Biggs Award for Poetry.[11]
As of 2022, Becominging is completing a PhD in poetics.[12]
Personal life
Becominging previously identified as genderqueer.[13] In 2021, Becominging came out as a trans woman, and started using she/her pronouns.[14][15]
Becominging met Carolyn DeCarlo online in 2011, on the literary website HTMLGIANT. After the pair developed a long-distance relationship, DeCarlo moved to New Zealand from Maryland.[2] Becominging and DeCarlo separated in 2022.[16]
