Thrilled to have 'Sea Glass Sounds Enchanting' alongside such amazing work in this anniversary issue. Check it out! If you want!

A little one for #smallpoemsunday

For #smallpoemsunday here’s one of mine recently published in @rough-diamond1.bsky.social’s protest anthology 🤠

My brain isn’t playing ball for longer form stuff atm so looking for novella recs. What’s your fave?

Kind of alarming thinking that if I didn't write I wouldn't know how I feel. COWABUNGA!

Matt! Thank you so much for sharing, so glad you enjoyed these

Ah, the familiar burst of hope one feels when submitting to The Shore. It's short-lived but so is an orgasm and you value those right

I have a new poem called HOW COULD I NOT BE A FAN OF SIDNEY SWEENEY out today on Be About It Press. Follow their Substack where they publish the good stuff!

Thanks, Jake, what a kind message!

As I crack how to structure my first collection and finish a decent draft, I feel myself getting emotional. No comment on whether it'll land for others obv, but I feel good that it fully represents me, my voice, my past, and, who knows, maybe a future.

So pleased to have this lovey-dovey poem out in the world today in the new @gyroscopereview.bsky.social and no foolin'.

If you know @tomsnarsky.bsky.social’s work this collection from @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social is precisely as good as you think it is. If you don’t know his work, seek it out.

Had a bit of a fallow period creatively so super happy to say I've got new work coming out in April in Sunlight Press @gyroscopereview.bsky.social @bloominonionlit.bsky.social Thimble Lit Mag @petrichorlit.bsky.social and @rawheadjournal.bsky.social!

I do three little sentences and use em-dashes all the time but please believe me when I say I am human.

Australian journal Baby Teeth have just published two of my poems and I think that's cool.

Preparing a packet of poems and trying to get the Fucking Depressing - Mildly Depressing - A Rollicking Good Laugh ratio just right.

And the brilliant Zoe Leonard!

A great evening of poetry and flash with Karen Leona Anderson, @jasutherland.bsky.social, @tommydeanwriter.bsky.social, Raymond Cummings and Thom Hawkins. Thanks so much to @chrissystegmanpoet.bsky.social for arranging and hosting, and letting me read my silly poems!

Always accept cookies! Good luck with it all

Updated (uglier) version!

'There can be shapes in remembering, shapes
that don't exist in real life: multi-decahedral,
a spherical Cathedral'

Check out my new poem HALFTIME SHOW published by the ever-ace @somewordslit.bsky.social.

Love this

Thanks to Luna Luna Mag for giving this 🕷️ a home last year

I'm getting to that point where I think I'll never be able to write again. Please send help and poems x

Wow, have just had the worst experience with a lit mag who suggest I can not withdraw work that has since been accepted elsewhere as their submission period has ended (??!)

Thanks to @maudlinhouse.bsky.social for giving ‘Think of the bros’ a good home. Check it out!

Lovely acceptance from @jmwwjournal.bsky.social, a mag I absolute love

Awful

but but leverage!
