I'm Enrique Gautier, a storyteller who explores the human experience through multiple lenses. As an author and poet, I craft narratives that challenge perspectives, while my photography captures moments that words can't express. I founded Schrodinger's Pup, a weekly podcast where we dive deep into the fascinating psychology behind the writing process, helping fellow creators understand their creative journey.
I’m currently available for consulting engagements.
In 'Libert(y) -n -(Re) Solution', Enrique Gautier weaves together poetry and jurisprudence to examine the complex intersection of law, justice, and human experience in America. Through a series of interconnected poems, each anchored to landmark Supreme Court decisions, this collection explores how legal frameworks shape individual lives and collective memory. From the infamous Dred Scott decision to contemporary cases like Trump v. Hawaii, these verses illuminate the human consequences of judicial rulings while questioning the distance between constitutional ideals and lived reality.
After serving in the Navy and deploying to Afghanistan, I found my path to renewal in the mountains of Boulder, Colorado. This journey led me to Naropa University's Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, where I studied under the guidance of legendary poets Anne Waldman, Jeffrey Pethybridge, Valarie Hsiung, and Tongo Eisen-Martin, ultimately earning my MFA in Creative Writing and Poetics. Their influence helped shape this collection into a fusion of experimental poetics and legal critique, bridging the gap between avant-garde literary tradition and constitutional law.
Now, as a professor at Red Rocks Community College, where I teach English Composition, Creative Writing, Literature, Technical Writing, and Law Enforcement Legal Procedure Skills, I continue to explore the intersections of justice, art, and human experience. My work extends beyond the written word into visual storytelling, with a photography exhibition at the Colorado Photography Arts Center examining food swamps, and an ongoing project documenting homelessness across the Front Range. This multidisciplinary approach to storytelling reflects my commitment to illuminating overlooked narratives and challenging systemic inequities.
The collection moves beyond traditional legal analysis to expose the raw, human impact of court decisions that echo through generations, employing techniques of disembodied poetics to deconstruct and reimagine the language of law and liberty.
Schordinger’s Pup
A weekly podcasts that explores my journey as a writer. Creating new worlds through storytelling is as old as humanity itself. In fact, language is the distinguishing factor between humans and the rest of our primate cousins. Thus, I explore not only the art of writing, but, also psychology of writing on this weekly series.
Emerging Authors
I help established brands understand new audiences in emerging markets, with a special focus on helping emerging authors establish themselves via traditional marketing means and social media.

Along with my Partner, Rae G, we utilize photography as a modicum to capture human emotions.
