"My hatred lives on through my singing Repelling hummingbirds, ladybugs, worms My hatred has grown very tall Its fingers all dangle with seeds" “Vinegar Ceremony” by Cleo Qian (@cleoqian.bsky.social) from @honeyliterary.bsky.social www.honeyliterary.com/issue-5-/poe...

Teaching at Tin House this summer!

Love to be in this one!
