IT’S ME!!!!!!!! I loved this convo with MK, whose book, The Sexuality of Care, will be out in the summer with @feministpress.bsky.social. I urge you to read our respective books in dialogue when you can!

Reading and selecting the poems for this issue was a such a treat. These writers blew me away with their thoughtfulness and creativity around ekphrasis and what it can be. Highly recommend reading the issue and sending @gr8earlofhell.bsky.social a tip on ko-fi for letting us curate this space

i am in this with some truly visionary writers……….. what an honor to have my Boy Poems selected

I think my twitter algorithm is messed up because I never realized this piece got posted!! but big thank you to @fifthwheelpress.bsky.social fifthwheelpress.com/blog/feature...
