New poem in the latest issue of @thimblelitmag.bsky.social ✨🙌
Inspired by the origin of Aphrodite being born from sea foam and waves.
Loosely structured as a Petrarchan sonnet and tried to mirror the subject matter by having the line length increase gradually (expanding&contracting along the way)

New poem in Voicemail Poems Winter 2025 issue!
Part of a larger collection I’m working on about Olympian figures — queering them, placing them in contemporary context, etc.
Ganymede is a lad abducted by an eagle (Zeus in disguise or at his command) to be cupbearer to the gods & given eternal youth
