Special Guest Knewbettadobetta

Knewbetta is a walker-between-worlds like Glorfindel. He’s a man from the hood and a Tolkien lore expert. He was a kid taking detention in the library… where a friend handed him a copy of The Hobbit. He fell in love with Middle-earth, with the beautiful escape of the world, with the poems, descriptions, and tightly woven interdependencies like his home neighborhood and the hip-hop music he loved.

(she/they) A queer Tolkien scholar and Zelda nerd interested in adaptation, audience reception, and biography.

(she/her) An acquirer of books, a queer-rights activist, serves as as the Subscriptions Steward of the Mythopoeic Society, and is a Professional Nerd (okay, technically it’s an unpaid internship).

(she/her) Just another weird Tolkien geek living in the Grey Havens (also known as Seattle WA) with two rabbits and far too few books.
