Honored to have my poem “The Crux,” first published in diode, featured on The Slowdown with Maggie Smith. Like most experiences, motherhood, for me, lives between depletion and abundance, where love and grief sit side by side. Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/6bNs...

Megan Peak has a new poem, “Losing the Cat,” up in the latest issue of Rust & Moth. Here’s an excerpt, and you can read the whole at rustandmoth.com. ♥️ @meganpeak.bsky.social @rustandmoth.bsky.social

It’s like my whole life has been a string of Augusts. Read more about this odd, uneven month on my substack: megpeakpoet.substack.com

Wrote about peeling an orange, parenting, poetry, & tiny existential crises. Juice, joy, Wendy Cope, and my inner child. 🍊New post + video: megpeakpoet.substack.com/p/my-inner-c... #poetry #amwriting #amreading #blueskywriters #writingcommunity #parenting #motherhood #innerchild #microessays

If poetry is the house of language, Girldom is where I started building my rooms. Inside: storms, daughters, grief knots. What does your house of language hold? perugiapress.org/product/girl... #poetry #poet #blueskypoetry #amwriting #writinglife #poetrycommunity #writersconnect #poems #girlhood

As a writer, curiosity has always been essential to my process. I suppose it’s essential to being human, too. It was a privilege to contribute to The Virtues, presented by the Thanks-Giving Foundation. Take a look at the project and read my poem here: www.thevirtues.org/curiosity #poetry #poems
