"Hey, we are declining your submission. But please submit something else. We can really use the money and it's important to support independent press." - I'm not bitter, as rejection goes hand in hand with creating art, but I found that hilarious.

📚COMING SOON🖋️ My micro chapbook Things That Made Me is officially coming out this summer thanks to the incredible folks at @the-engine-idling.bsky.social.

My latest piece of #poetry, Algorithms Don't Bleed, is now live over at The Modern Artist. It’s a raw meditation on what gets lost when creation is handed over to code—where's the mess, the blood, the breakdowns? www.modernartists.org/team/algorit...
