my first publication of 2025 is this weeeird, sort of dirty (?!) poem about trees (🌲). thanks to one of my favorite journals, Indiana Review, for publishing this—

Our humanity is being tested. The only way to survive is to work together and be here for one another.

Thanks so much to petro for publishing my disrupted sleep poem!

"Will & Harper is the right film in the right year and it's a cultural touchstone that will stand the test of time and be a beacon of hope for the transformative power of love and friendship."

Thanks to everyone who sent their best single-line beauties across multiple genres! We can't wait to share Issue 12 with you!
