An acceptance from @rustandmoth.bsky.social today in my inbox! Very excited to be included in their summer issue :)

Excited to say I have two prose poetry pieces forthcoming in @gonelawn.bsky.social for Issue 65: blue moon! 🌕 Stay tuned for updates— I couldn’t be happier :)

Looking for recommendations for lit mags (preferably with quick response times) for poetry, I’ve gone through my lists and need some fresh ideas! ✍🏻

I forget that waist, / that nerve, that skin. And I aspen. I mountain. / I river. I stone. I leaf. I path. I flower.

A swamp pink publication will eventually be on my resume, I can feel it

Writing fiction is the exact opposite of a get-rich-quick scheme.

Just ordered my first print copy of @rustandmoth.bsky.social after all these years of reading them online—super excited to be holding the physical version soon!! 😇

A HUGE shoutout to Kate Efimochkina (@k081670 on Instagram) for doing the absolutely gorgeous and stunning art for my upcoming chapbook “Bones!” I couldn’t have asked for a more lovely and skilled person to be working with, and I am so excited to share how it turned out 💕 🦴 #writing #writer #book

Received a lovely acceptance from the folks at Wildscape Lit this past week! You’ll be seeing my piece “songbirds” there in April ☺️🩵

A little painting I did with alcohol inks (one of my favorite mediums) ! 🩷 💜 💙 💚 💛

Stunning piece, so vivid

If you have a taste for the strange, the off-putting, the mildly gross— you might be interested in my piece “how to un-cook soup,” originally published in 3Elements Review: www.3elementsreview.com/journal-issu... #booksky #writing #author #poem #poet #poetry

In case you like mythology and retellings, Corvid Queen is a great source :) They published my piece “you know the tale” last year, featuring Hel from Norse mythology: corvidqueen.com/stories/you-... #writing #poem #poetry #mythology #norsemyth #writer #author

“I wanted you to be freshly thawed, pursed lips hungry, like waiting to be stuffed — but you are always late to dinner; I grew vicious from the waiting, from angling twilight in your absence.” - the taxidermist (K.M. Hanslik)

Short excerpt from ‘sanctimonious’, I’m beyond excited to have this piece being republished by Monarch in March ♥️ ✨

The vibes for my upcoming chapbook: 🌱🕸️🪰🍄‍🟫🌲🌘 [not my photos]

As a writer it’s a rule that you must save every single draft you’ve ever written *just in case* that oneeee line that you really liked can be used in a piece later

Viewing writing as change, as movement— as the landscapes we inhabit & the tools we use to shape them

My first literary award 🥹 Thanks to all the lovely folks at Bleating Thing & Monarch!! 🫶

My piece “the taxidermist” in ‘Issue 2: Survivors’ of Black Glass Pages!

Today’s feature is an excerpt from Jean Feldeisen’s poem, “Jab Jab Cross.” Read this poem, and two more by Jean, here: turningleafjournal.com/2024/12/15/j... We paired this piece with artwork titled “Cherry Thinking,” submitted by Mirjana M.

I feel like what a lot of people call “wonder” is just them shutting off the things that filter the world around them

Been kind of a dry spell but I have 2 pieces confirmed coming out in 2025 so far, and a potential chapbook in the works, so stay tuned :)

If you see this and you’re a fellow writer, say “hi”!! 🙋
