I am reading Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower, for the first time. It was published in 1993. Over 30 years ago. The story begins in late 2024, during an election. It is chilling me to my core.

So pleased that my poem 'zoom out, love. impressionist cityscape.' has found a home with @brokenspinearts.bsky.social in the forthcoming Glow: City at Night anthology! My gratitude to @alanparry83.bsky.social and congrats to my fellow poets selected to appear. Can't wait to read it all!
