"kindness in poetry is an act of rebellion" -- I stumbled about these words I said to @onlypoemsmag.bsky.social in an interview pre-election. It's funny your own word speak to you...

A sonnet from last winter's number of @ballastjournal.bsky.social

Our poetry editor loved so many of the poems we received for the Harvest Harmonies contest this year that he wanted to post 10 poems, instead of the original 8 we had agreed upon. So, here, for your reading pleasure is poem-meme 9 from the 2024 Harvest Harmonies. Please Like, Share, and Follow.

I hope this letter finds you, in your changes.

My latest story “The Garden” was just released in the Schism themed issue of The Ex-Puritan. It’s a neo-gothic, lightly speculative look at violence, release, and attempt at control over bodies in relationships, through the lens of a garden. Thanks for reading xo

I'm not interested in letting any of this crazy shit be normal.

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.
