RIP Alex Pretti, Renée Good, Keith Porter Jr, Jaime Alanis García, Silverio Villegas González, and countless others assaulted and murdered not just by ICE but also by fascism that only got this far because the people who looked like Alex and Renée thought they were safe. #poetry

When the rejections compliment your writing and encourage you to keep querying, you know you're on the right track 🙃

The query trenches are not for the weak. And I am weak. I'm postpartum. I'm sleep deprived. I have a baby and a toddler and way too many headaches. But I'm here. And I'm not leaving until I get my manuscript the cheerleader it deserves.

There's nothing like revealing your truly authentic self—the one that is sometimes raging, often irritated, sometimes crying, often unwilling to do what it's told—and hearing crickets from the very people who once dubbed you honest and all your words #heartfelt.

Querying is one thing. Querying postpartum with two under two is a special kind of hell. Please tell me someone out there knows this feeling.

#Poetry is medicine.
First, brew it for yourself. Then, share it with others who might need it.
Refuse to edit? Can't brew a potent potion. Can't heal yourself.
Refuse to share? Can't spread your medicine. Can't support others just by existing.
Keep writing. Keep editing. Keep sharing.

#Abstraction is not only
a safety net
for our too-real details,
it is also
a megaphone
for our too-complex emotions.
Some wounds
bleed art
to heal.

As someone with a relative in forensics, I know too well that people #shoot and stab each other this time of year. Turn on local news, suicide and murder. Turn on world news, starvation and genocide. It may not seem like enough to just eat and #survive today, but it is.

Some people don't want to bring kids
into this greedy, heartless world.
Every generation plays #successor
to the problems of the last.
But children are more than
the dysfunctions they inherit.
Those small, curious eyes:
irreplaceable beacons of hope.

Motherhood
and activism
both sometimes
feel like a #soliloquy
yet both also
give the future hope.
