Big news!!
I am SO excited to share that my sci-fi novella, Bright Phaedra, has landed with Thinking Ink Press @thinkinginkpress.bsky.social
It's a near future story about asexual connection, the temptations of AI, and the unboundedness of love.
I can't wait for you all to read this one!!

Today at @thedeadlands.com one of the favorite poems I've written lately, and 2025 has been a good year for my poetry. This poem is about a Yiddish play that haunts me, Night in the Old Marketplace, which was never performed as written. Some critics say it is not a play at all.
“This is a story: there’s a marketplace
at midnight. Your voice
calls the dead to awaken.”
today’s new poetry, beloveds! 🖤💀
