Joke's on the contemporary all-lowercase poetry haters; it is becoming a signifier that a piece was written by a human

Huge thank yous to those who've purchased physical & digital copies of ANGELS & INSECTS this year. It's turned 2 this month & has admittedly been limping along in terms of sales, so the resurgence of interest this year has really put wind back in my sails. Also, Kith is wonderful.

To be a bit of a hater, it's disheartening to see that the Canva fonts have made it to film posters

New eZine of art 'n poetry up over @ thee Patreon, themed around the concept of reversed Cathedrals If you have the means & the interest, you can find it here: www.patreon.com Otherwise, enjoy this short poem

One thing I want all the "I finish hours of work in seconds" AI bros to know is, you are raising the threshold for yourself & your coworkers. This level of output will become expected, but your pay will stay the same or decrease. It's already happening.

Brief update about me is I have a patreon where I post monthly zines of poetry & art (& also blog entries, if that's your thing) Anyway, here's the cover & a poem from the current month's zine www.patreon.com/c/cursethegr...

As much as I love meme pages, some of the relationship ones are Very gender essentialist. More they/them memes I can send to my partner thnx

I know I click on them on purpose but if I have to watch one more video thinkpiece about Teenage Dream In Space I'm going to scre

E.G.N. has a poem coming out with Bleating Thing soon & is very talented, please support xoxo

She is Risen

Would you hug this creature

I would describe myself poetically as "if Lucie brock-broido were terminally online"

Is it too late to move into publishing cause I have actually known since youth that I was interested in designing books (not covers, like, typesetting n shit) & just didn't know that was a thing you could just do. Like, as a career.

Feeling stressed to the border of catatonia. Truly one minor inconvenience away from complete nervous shutdown.

I guess it's a good thing I didn't quit my job to get an MFA 2 years ago like I considered doing

Maybe one day I will submit a poem again

Sending some acceptance emails today as a little treat for myself

My book & its kin of wonderful publications are now available as free eBooks until the 31st!
