New poem up in my Substack. Link in bio 🫶🏽

Magic in Kalibayan runs on memory. The more painful, the more powerful. Burn too much, too fast, the world breaks open. Out come the monsters. Like the taklob. A shame eater wrapped in mirrors.

I grew up hearing ghost stories and watching The Exorcist way too young.
Now I write monsters into my fantasy world.
New Substack: on Filipino myth, memory, and worldbuilding with fangs.

🩸 The monsters have always been here.

This started out as a post about lore. Then one of the gods asked “Do you love us?”
The gods in Kalibayan are weird, moody, and full of questions…very anxious. It’s just…mood 😂

What does memory become, when it walks? What does it leave behind? Excerpt from my novel-in-progress. Stirring shit up in the cauldron over here 🧙🏽‍♀️ ⏩ 📖 guianocon.substack.com

Poet Andrea Gibson passed away today. Heartbroken. Read their poetry. Love your people. Love big today of all days. For them. The rest of this phenomenal poem will be posted in a second post.

I’m a poet who writes about memory—how we invent ourselves from half-remembered things. Now I’m writing a fantasy novel. Still grief, still loss. Just with monsters.

Kalibayan runs on memory magic.

So… still poems. Just longer. With fight scenes.

Thoroughly enjoying this book. Dark, yes. But also surprisingly funny in the way the narrator tells his story. Not even halfway but already recommend.

18th book of the year done! 32 more to go 😅. Sad this one ended. Gotta wait until like 2031 for the second arc of Stormlight or something. Guess now’s that time to finally start Wheel of Time!

A meditation on Robert Duncan’s philosophy. And larger, a fond recall to my once obsession with the Black Mountain poets when I was a college student, so long ago now.
