Book rec:

@thesuiway.bsky.social's The Dragonfly Gambit was on my TBR for too long, and y'all, I just DEVOURED it.

So spite-filled and angry-sexy and smart.

I'm slowly reading through Asimov's Foundation and came across this last night.

Very interesting, Christian Nationalists. Very interesting indeed.
A page from a book that read, "The Spiritual Power, while sufficient to ward off attacks of the Temporal is not sufficient to attack in turn. Because of the invariably growth of the counteracts force known as Regionalism or Nationalism, the Spiritual Power cannot prevail. I am telling you nothing new, I'm sure."

This morning's poem: Arson.
White text on black lined background: Be honest with me: How foolish was I to believe the light was dawn on the horizon and not a blaze we lit in our own house.

Coffee in my favorite mug.

From @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social.
A white mug with a black and white headshot of Octavia Butler in it. The words, "So Be It! See To It!" are above her head. The mug is sitting on a stack of notebooks in front of a window.

I'm not saying there's gonna be sequel; all I'm saying is I'm still writing Star Trek poetry.

Both Worlds is out with Bottlecap Press! Or I'll send a signed copy with a personalized Trek inscription for tips of $12 or more through my ko-fi page linked in my bio!

An excerpt from my poem Every Moment Hereafter, which first appeared in @radonjournal.bsky.social, and is now available in my new chapbook, Both Worlds, out with Bottlecap Press:

bottlecap.press/collections/...
Moving at the speed of life Six months is an eternity, Stopped until the light can look in again, to see if everything is Stable, If there have been any changes. But how will I not be different then, after this moment, forever Forever under the influence of What you saw Under fluorescence?

I have been influenced by Instagram and have made a list of books I own but haven't read and have used a random number generator to choose my next read. Here we go!
Octavia E. Butler's Mind of My Mind - with a dark red cover featuring the silhouette of a woman with yellow beams coming from her. The book is lying on a purple, gray, black, and white striped blanket.

Possibly the greatest book display I have ever seen at the Rice Street Library in Saint Paul.
Library bookshelves with a sign that reads Highlighting a Lesser Known Genre: Gentlemen Who Have Misplaced Their Shirts. Multiple books are faces, all sporting shirtless men.

No more hints: I'm absolutely ecstatic to share that my debut chapbook Both Worlds is available!

If you followed me on Twitter, I talked about my Star Trek poetry often - here it is, friends! In the flesh! (It's printed on paper, not flesh - maybe tree flesh?)
