Here’s the deal! I wrote a book, it won a contest, and now—it’s really coming into the world. It’s still surreal? But what ultimate joy: to have made so many friends through this work. To have found community. To soon share my 1st book! Presale is LIVE 👇

@thealinemello V annoyed to have opened an empty spreadsheet lmao. Will the labor asked of me never end? 😒

[Michael Myers Apologist 🔪 @kimsoandso]

Crowd sourcing! Anyone holding onto a list of post-publication prizes to submit to? I simply do not have the time, the brain cells or the will to complete an empty spreadsheet as an unpaid/unsupported WORKING CLASS POET who must work 2 jobs just to live. The game, rigged, etc.

HELLO, BEAUTY! 💐✨💐✨💐✨

We are so tired, my body and I.
And still, we don't sleep. Shell and inside-shell.
Soft and once-was-soft. I am hardening with hunger.
