My friend Emilija released a song they created based on a poem I wrote for TDoV about four years ago. The very appropriately named "Pronouns".

It’s National Poetry Day so one feels obliged to post something ‘poetic’, yet I’ve barely written or published any poetry this year.
But I have co-run an ACE-funded project, edited an anthology & championed the work of queer crip poets, shining a spotlight on voices so often marginalised.

Huge thanks to Max Wallis of Aftershock Review, not only for publishing my effluvium, but for this fabulous editorial reading and comment on it. 💜
effluvium is a poem of leakage and revolt. Stains blur into one another, sex, blood, mucus; until the body itself becomes hostile, a site of overflow. The speaker moves between bed and self, between past and present, carrying a lifetime of “undreaming,” open.substack.com/pub/aftersho...
