I wasn't selected in the lottery to table my local book fair, so I have a bunch of copies of my poetry collection to sell online! DM me if you're interested in one. $15 signed and shipped, but will sell for less if you send me a photo of your pet.

oh this? this is my emotional support rage

Sister Snake by Amanda Lee 'Koe and Marie Howe's New and Selected 💙💚

One of the best things I ever did for myself was stop comparing my life trajectory to people who have support systems. I won’t say I never had help, but I’m just now truly understanding the difference between “assistance” and “support”.

🚨 I have a new poem in The Harvard Advocate 🚨
Big thank you to the editors for including me.
