It’s like my whole life has been a string of Augusts.

Read more about this odd, uneven month on my substack: megpeakpoet.substack.com

Wrote about peeling an orange, parenting, poetry, & tiny existential crises. Juice, joy, Wendy Cope, and my inner child.

Feeling honored to see Girldom featured by @asterismbooks.bsky.social for Women’s History Month—and @perugiapress.bsky.social for believing in this collection and the stories it tells.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and continuing to make space for women’s voices—past, present, and powerful.

once a snowflake fell
on my brow and I loved
it so much

Today from @costarastrology.bsky.social.

Somewhere in my city, a light just turned on. What about yours?

Reading George Saunders and wondering: What have I overlooked today that might someday feel unspeakably beautiful?

What about you?

Joined Blue Sky, because where else would a poet belong?
Here to write, to listen, to spotlight brilliance.

Tell me: If poetry is the house of language, what’s the view from your window?
