Writer in Delaware. Chapbook: POEMS TO STAGE DIVE TO (Stanchion, 2026). Full length: EVERY LIVING DAY (Thirty West, 2023). Work in The Offing, Harvard Advocate, Ninth Letter, etc. Probably eating a little treat. 🏳️🌈
I was having a tough mental health day and had to leave work early, but I stopped at Trader Joe’s on the way home and subsequently learned about “ice cube lettuce.” I then bought two teeny tiny lettuce heads and life is once again worth living.

It’s the small joys like this that get us through the toughest days.
I'm not going to post screenshots for obvious reasons but I have been alerted that a bunch of the top posts in r/MassiveCock are anti-ICE now and anyone who defends ICE in comments is getting yelled down lol

Casual reminder that a bill must pass *both* the House and the Senate (and get signed by POTUS) to become law.
The DHS / ICE appropriations bill passed the House.
It still needs to pass the Senate with 60 votes.
That vote will be *NEXT WEEK*

If you rightly believe poetry and indie lit is an act of rebellion, then this is your chapbook, your mosh pit, your community.
This tiny book is an ode to hardcore punk, a subculture that taught me to speak up & speak loudly. These poems hate ICE, they hate AI, & they hate fascism in all its despicable forms.
Support if you can by preordering, & please take care of each other.

The specificity and nuance of these data points are beyond ominous. And considering the people collecting this information, it feels a bit too on the nose.

But in the meantime - very grateful for the opportunity!

Def go to a reading if you can! You’ll not be disappointed! If unable to, then buy his book. You’ll not be disappointed in that either! ☺️
Look at this cute little flyer I made in Canva. If you’re in PA or DE or MD, come listen to some poems and say hi. 👋🏼

Writing a ghazal, using "love" as the refrain, and trying to carve some semblance of peace into this godforsaken, loveless world.
