Super excited to have a little poem in Molecule’s Issue 12! Available here moleculetinylitmag.art.blog. The process of containing a poem to 50 words or less was such a fun exercise & I’m so honored to have had one of my attempts selected.

Guess I shouldn’t be very surprised, after a few days of seeing it everywhere, that the anglerfish story inspired a new poem. Not altogether unhappy with it, so I’ll call that a win.

Did you know you can make up little guys and put them in situations? Yeah, experts are calling it "writing," it's incredible stuff. Highly recommend. :)

Genuinely excited at how many new books of poetry I've added to my wishlist since joining Bluesky.

My new favorite pastime is submitting to a theme issue and then writing a new poem a week later that is on theme and arguably better than anything I submitted.

The unparalleled joy of finding that word or line that brings a poem back together when you had almost given up on it.
