Honored to be nominated for my poem, Mother, and to be among these other nominees! 😊

Thankful to Does It Have Pockets for being the perfect place for these two poems. Check out the rest of the new issue now!

Delighted to havea new piece up with Rogue Agent and love their focus on poems of the body.

Sending this around again bc it just makes us SO happy. I reread it and marvel at the things said, at how we are perceived — we really are doing what we set out to do! This recognition is so special and encouraging. Thank you so so much.

Honored to have my poem, In the Hot Spring Locker Room, included in @thimblelitmag.bsky.social newest issue alongside some other incredible poets! www.thimblelitmag.com/2025/07/24/i...

Excited to have my poem, Longevity, out in this new issue!

Delighted to have a series of poems up at @eunoiareview.bsky.social over the last few days. They published one of my first ever published poems last year and will always be special to me! This prose poem is one of my faves of the bunch 🥰

So glad this piece found the perfect home in @epistemiclit.bsky.social 's latest issue, Nostalgia. Check out the rest of the issue and the amazing writing there! And if you hear me mess up the Italian accent in the recording of this...no you didnt 👀

So, so many quotable lines in this piece by @haleydirenzo.bsky.social but I think this one contains so much: “It was not so much the money, but how it had allowed me to accomplish a dream, born from the regret of him missing out on one.” #Nostalgia across generations, a force for good

Honored to be nominated for this award and the continued support for this story, which is a favorite of mine ❤️

Love this for me

Thank you to @epistemiclit.bsky.social lit for nominating my fiction piece, I'm so honored to be nominated amongst these other great works and to have another piece coming out with them soon!

Been wanting to share some work on social without first getting the validation of publication, so before I talk myself out of it, here's something timely. Happy Fourth and holding on to stupid hope.

Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

While Republicans celebrate the passage of the largest Medicaid cut in history, the Curtis Medical Center in Nebraska announced it will shut down as a result of these horrific cuts — the first of many hospitals to close. This is a dark day for rural America and for our country.

Thrilled to have these two poems in January House about long ago by a girl (me) who's never gotten over anything in her life, aka a poet.

My flash story, Upending the Garden, is featured in Epistemic Literary's first physical Anthology! Really enjoyed working with these folks and excited they put this together.

My flash story Dreams is up at Flash Fiction Magazine today. I wrote the first draft in 2020 well before I started to take writing more seriously. That only happened in the last year, but I'm so glad I found my way back to this piece. I'm very proud of it and would love if you gave it a read!

Oh hey, there is a poetry party going on over at that new club Four Score 84! It has everything, poetry about aging, red lipstick, floor sleeping and mountain lions. Read “College Girls” by @haleydirenzo.bsky.social right here! www.roifaineantpress.com/post/mountai...

Excited to be featured in this issue. Check out my four poems and the other amazing contributors! Mine are here: www.roifaineantpress.com/post/mountai...
