the full story won't fit the character limit, but these are for my heartsister Heather MacAllister aka Reva Lucian, who died 18 years ago on Feb 13th. made by myself, my partner Max, and our friend Telvi in a new family tradition, Heather will now have flowers all year round, even in a snowstorm.

My new poetry book bouquet of thorny rose comes out in less than a month! Published by the excellent folks at @echobirdpress.bsky.social
the first slide has the book cover, with large pink roses and thorn covered buds and the book title and author's name. a block of text has the event name and location, another block has a reviewer quote that reads "... just as tender-sharp and harrowingly generous as the title implies", and at the bottom are a small N95 mask icon and the words 'mask required', and a small black arrow pointing to the right and the words 'book description'. the second slide has text that reads: "bouquet of thorny rose explores the intricacies of living in a deviant body through the intersections of pleasure, trauma, memory, and emotion. This hybrid collection burrows deep into relationships with self, others, and the world to examine, unearth, and name. To tend and prune. You will find stories of violation, reclamation, naked truths and hard-won joy. The intention is resonance. To share as food or medicine or hedonism or validation. To upend the basket and sift through, perhaps to find a seed of your own. So often we go hungry, prowling the shadows at feasts we aren’t invited to. Seeking flavors labeled poison but tasting of home. Seeking antidotes for those they force us to swallow. Perhaps, for you, some grow here." below that are the author and publisher websites: sossitywrites.com and echobirdpress.com.

a header of curvy shapes in shades of magenta and pink on a pale pink background. below is text that reads "essay snippet from the archive - Broke bodies (Embody column, PQ Monthly, 2015) "Our overworked bodies. Our underinsured bodies. Our plate carrying, pot scrubbing, paint rolling, child tending, stuff lifting, floor cleaning, caretaking, customer serving bodies. Our sex working bodies. Our veteran bodies. Our sorrowful way down low bodies. Our poisoned bodies. Our misfit bodies. Our bodies that move differently. The system would have us buy and hoard, alone in the struggle for the rest of our lives. What I want to know is how we can help each other survive." below that is the social media tag @sossitywrites
