Just wanted to say I've been loving serving as the poetry faculty member for the Religion, Spirituality, and the Arts program with Herron School of Art! We've been having our classes @newfieldstoday , and i took a pic of Kori Newkirk's "Black Dandelion" sculpture the other night 🖤🌕🌼

Thanks to @anomalouspress for publishing 4 new poems of mine, all "girl on the spectrum manifestos" i wrote in response to their special call for 'autistic protest poetry' after RFK's ridiculous comments re: autistic people. There is so much cool stuff in this issue! 💜
