This is how we’ll survive the winter.
—Inauguration Day, January 20, 2025

On the most bitter day
of winter, rainbows
chased the sun’s heels
herding diamond dust
into a halo I only saw
because I stopped
to fill my tires.

Unintentionally triggered some exvangelical folks when I said I wanted to “submit” more this year (to clarify: I want to submit more to lit mags, not to men [not ever])

What are some of your favorite literary journals for poetry? (Bonus affection if you include why.)

I would love to connect with more Colorado Springs poets! Point me in the right direction or tell me about yourself.

Oh also, every day but *especially* this day feels like a good day to remind you that one of the 2 biggest orgs against the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) was the Evangelical Christian school lobby.
Guess who's looking to settle some scores! 💫🙏🏼

Hi! As an author, I am equally tired of being tamed by capitalism’s lust for commodifying the self and Christianity’s delusions of certainty. I’m here because I’ve heard it might be a friendlier place for the increasingly feral, like me.

Time to roar, and share small joys, like these fishes.
