Went on a walk in the sunshine and there were flowers, and honestly? It healed me a little.

So, my debut poetry collection “Bloodroom” is being published in summer 2026 by @sundresspub.bsky.social ! 🩸✨This book is full of explorations, of diving into intergenerational trauma, parent/child relationships, queerness and sexuality, pop horror from the 90s to now, and more.

Started a lil substack to feel more connected and make things feel a little less terrible! Come hang ✨ open.substack.com/pub/kayebanc...

Saw this little guy on a live video last night and would love to feel the peace and happiness he’s exuding.

Alright poets/writers: sound off with an intro!
