i knew that starting to get into roller derby in my mid thirties would mean that my body was banged up all the time, but i didn’t think my right thumb would consistently be the most injured part of my body each week.

thoughts and prayers to my chronically sprained right thumb.

there’s a bakery near me that used to make the most unreal rose pistachio croissants. i would get them twice a week & then they just disappeared from the menu. anyway, today they have an orange blossom pistachio croissant and i gasped VERY loudly as if i had just seen the most delicious ghost.

i’ve tried to play it cool all month, but i’m completely floored that the 2025 eric hoffer award was so generous with my chap!

scavenger was named the winner of the chapbook category, received the first horizon award for superior work by debut authors, and was short-listed for the grand prize.
