Come find me next week at AWP & say HI!

I’ve been drafting a poem a week since September 2024. I took January 2025 off to recenter myself & let me tell you, I may have finally found my writing routine that works for me. What’s yours?

I can confirm this is good too! Tajin around the rim.

I’ve been committed to the gym for the past three weeks & I’m seeing a difference in my arms. Now I just need to commit to better eating habits. 😭

Me af! I be drinking coconut water & pedialyte with a splash of vodka 🤭

Always a fun time! Hope to see some of you in San Antonio.

hey new followers! I wrote a gay memoir about death, violence, murder, and horror movies (and family struggles, coming of age, etc) that some cool and trustworthy people wrote nice things about! I'd be honored if you picked up a copy, and maybe even left a review somewhere!

Such a good scene!

Join me & 20 other 2025 NEA Fellows for an afternoon reading at this offsite event during AWP!

Books I read this past month of February. I learned so much from these books and I also realized I missed reading so much. I’m feeling a little more intellectual.

The most accurate text I’ve read today. 🤭

Finished this beauty!

I know blurbs are having a little moment right now, but I was excited to write one for @chriscampanioni.bsky.social's amazing hybrid memoir: "Evading classification at every turn, this deeply associative text is migratory and nationless, if genre can be understood as a state from which to emigrate."

Every time I listen to Ethel Cain I just want to burst into leaves & drift in the wind. 🍂

The deadline for the 2025 #THSW is this weekend! Don't delay and get your application in today. In addition to our General Scholarships, we also offer many community-focused awards such as our scholarship for North American Indigenous authors.
