So honored to have won the @mississippireview.bsky.social view poetry contest!

"As Seed, So Too, Sleep" is a five part prose poem comparing grief and loss to fruit - organized by the stages of sleep. It was really fun and cathartic to write.

Congrats to all winners and finalists!

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place
