Hi friends! It’s been a challenging year for many of us. I hope you’re holding yourself and your loved ones tightly. Here are some new poems I’ve been honored to have published in the past few months, and a few that are forthcoming:
What’s Mine, Winter Tangerine
After Orlando, Glass Poetry Press– On the Pulse shooting, but also on fear of being seen as gay in public, the privilege of safety, grief, and gun violence.
Ten Apologies to My Body, Drunk in a Midnight Choir– On body image, acceptance, depression, self-love.
Coming soon: Stay tuned for my poems in upcoming issues of The Offing, Beltway Poetry Quarterly, and in the Hysteria anthology from Lucky Bastards Press.
