Chuffed to have a collab with @kathrynreese.bsky.social in @gonelawn.bsky.social merging Persephone and Born Slippy! Hope you enjoy! “And the boy tries the club, doing what he can to forget. Skin hot and lager-damp. His hips grind in the groin behind” gonelawn.net/journal/issu...

It's of course absolutley förbjuden for us to reveal anything related to the upcoming issue. You will need to wait until 7 September to see who's in it. And what a field! You'll gasp not a bit way through it! Really, you'll love it, and that cover art! Oh, satisfaction! You'll see, you'll see.

“My Dad. He is snow. No, snow is too soft. He is the sound of snow. He is the hiss of it falling in the dark. The way it is blind to everything but itself.” I Watch a Movie Starring My Dad + 2 by @chrissystegmanpoet.bsky.social in Gargoyle gargoylemagazine.com/chrissy-steg...

Labeled two batches!

Where you'll find me.

Mead batches. Four types. Sassafras and molasses, chamomile and vanilla, apple cider, and caramelized honey. Time to make the labels.

So grateful to chat with Andrew @andrewcareaga.bsky.social about writing, inspiration, and how to keep going!
