Question I will be asking @hystericalblkns.bsky.social this week is, how does she write so smooth--sentences clean as bones? If you are in Edmonton neighbourhood this is not an event to miss.🪶

It looks even gorgeous than I thought. This book will definitely give your shelf a new life. I promise. Contraband Bodies is a poetic imaginary of migration from below.

I am glad to have a new poem in @thewalrus.ca latest issue. This poem was written with my Moroccan friend, Houcien Abbouazza, in mind. We both waded thru America together in 2020. Grateful to @cstarnino.bsky.social for finding it worthy. Also coming forth from Contraband Bodies in Fall 2025.
