@dustintriplett.bsky.social
St. Louis based narrative designer and poet specializing in work that’s raw, reflective, and a little unhinged. I explore the cracks in everyday life—what festers, what heals, and what refuses to stay buried. https://linktr.ee/dustintriplett

Allow me to (re)introduce myself. My name is Dustin Triplett. I live in St. Louis.
I write things. #Poetry, #prose, creative #nonfiction - if it hurts a little, I’m probably chasing it.
