"We were all sea creatures in the womb." A wonderful flash from Claire Lawrence about being in the tub with her son, about the primordial sea, about a time before differentiation. @beavermag.bsky.social beavermag.org/claire-lawre...

space cowboy on a little, uh, space exploration? (title card)

"let's wrangle the moon?" tides vomit all over me, giddy with lumps of sea greasing the crease of my lips. i lick the foam, a true cowboy's milk, begging the moon to float a little closer. can i get a yeehaw every time i take in water wrinkles, or is it too cringy to chase weird objects in the sky's reflection?

This book is both a fever dream and a dreamy carousel. [space cowboy on a little, uh, space exploration?] champions that with its experimental fractals of space and time. - Arthur DeHart

Through the dreamlike imagery, Blake is able to uncover a way to communicate to the reader queer love, life, and adolescent nostalgia. Any reader would be lucky to experience this book. - Saturn Browne

"space cowboy on a little, uh, space exploration?" released with Bottlecap Press. this is a reimagining of my late teens/early 20s with frankensteined/updated poems from that time.
