tier tier tier rejections (and a shortlist), but few yeses yet. the work is important but maybe just a bit (too) weird.

lately I can only write what ruins me a little. digging for the ugly; the stuff that makes it hard to get up for work the next morning.

so much minimal, quiet ache out there. I can respect the restraint & craft in melancholia.
but where’s the loud poem, the prose that screams? the brazenly beautiful?
i.e. drop your lit mag recs 👇

1. big fluffy blanket, skin underneath
2. hoody cocoon, comfy pants, dignity

in 6 months, i went from poems to micros to CNF and -now- flash fiction. still figuring how i want to write but, at least, the "what" has remained true.

after work, i drafted. 283 words. which is not a lot. but if you consider that I obsessively line edited as i went, the total word count -would- be in the thousands. but who's counting?

brilliant questions that lead to more questions. enough for whom? we can't fully understand anyone yet we love them anyway (e.g. mothers and their babes who are born 0% known).
perhaps loving and being loved is not knowledge, but standing knee-deep in ontology.
great interview!

“Do we need to understand people completely to love them? What counts as knowing? That’s an epistemological question. If we know our most intimate people 50-70%, is that enough?”
