Do you ever just stand in awe of vastness of the universe? I'm thrilled to have a new poem up with The Inflectionist Review about just that feeling!

Had a lot of fun writing this "Mad Libs" style poem, published in The Interpreter's House!

Two "Mad Libs" poems up with The Interpreter's House.
Writing is how I wrestle with and make sense of the world. I wish this topic wasn't part of that reality...
*Content Warning on this one.
