CL Young (b. 1988) is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and facilitator based in Hailey, Idaho.
Through experiment with location, text, objects, performance, installation, sound, and the body, CL works to record being-in-time and to bring attention to experiences where the material and nonmaterial meet. Young also facilitates TUNING, a somatic modality developed through decades of movement study, creative & contemplative education, death care training, intuitive mentorship, and lived experience.
Young is the author of multiple chapbooks, including What Is Revealed When I Reveal It to You (dancing girl press) and Rose of No Man's Land (Belladonna* Collaborative), in collaboration with Emily Skillings. CL’s work has appeared in public and performance spaces in Boise, Garden City, Oakland, Portland, OR, and Seattle, as well as in publications from Annulet, Entropy, Fonograf Editions, Lana Turner, Poetry Northwest, The Poetry Project, The Scofield, Sixth Finch, The Volta, and others.
Awarded a Literature Fellowship by the Idaho Commission on the Arts in 2020, Young holds an MFA in poetry from Colorado State University and has received support and time from Vermont Studio Center, Naropa University, the Alexa Rose Foundation, Surel‘s Place, and The Common Well.
