It's a gorgeous day. Feeling gratitude for a lot of things today, really expensive and hopeful. I used to draw the eight of swords alllllll the time. Less and less, as I change my life. Thanks Cincinnati Review

I haven't been writing much at all in 2024 but tomorrow is my birthday and I'm ending a 15-year era in 2025 and I'm just basically maybe going to put another poetry manuscript together as a 39-yo. Eras ending is kinda crazy sad and completely thrilling at the same time. New ms title: Deep Cuts

I understand the urge to respond to the post-election Bluesky activity uptick by posting a poem for visibility and engagement, but I, an intellectual, am instead posting a poem for visibility and engagement

Now that EOY chaos is resolving itself a bit, I am having a moment of gratitude that my book has apparently sold 278+ since April. For a nobody debuting with a brand-new small press, I'm honestly stunned and feeling like a million bucks. Happy winter you'uns. @bellepointpress.bsky.social

Wrote a fun thing on this book in my insta and it is too long for these micro sites. So I'm forced to scrap everything except the sock-shoe-book-beer combo

Local poetry podcasts. Like Big Ears, this podcast is one of the things that really clocks me when I remember it happens here. Poet Alan May and Knox County Public Library supported. Listen to me read poems at the-beat.captivate.fm

Feels like mom stuff is having a moment. I literally could not be happier, I am smiling this huge smile as the patriarchal fascist machine cranks the screws on everybody writing and elevating mom stuff rn

Anyways thank you @merliterary.bsky.social for all you do, all of it

Dear God it would be nice to be floating in a clear blue sky instead of on elun musks twit. Fingers crossed. Feeling like a kite rn, waiting for string to get jerked back down to the ground. In the meantime here is a selfie of me with my book in my new jean jacket. JEAN JACKETS ROCK
