Thank you to @eventmags.bsky.social for publishing two of my lil poems! What a privilege it is to be read so carefully and kindly. This piece in particular was written in the heat two summers ago and she's finally found her home 🌊

Happy birthday, CV2! So delighted to get my contributor's copy today. This piece still feels a little too raw to share on my other socials, but bsky and canlit friends are always a safe space. Hopefully the first of many ⚖️ poems to come!

This post has been haunting me all day. This hits home.

Twitter post from @eliciadonze:

"People hate their own art because it looks like they made it. They think if they get better, it will stop looking like they made it. A better person made it. But there's no level of skill beyond which you stop being you. You hate the most valuable thing about your art."

Tumblr post from angelnumbers:

The San Francisco therapist kept telling me I shouldn't be terrified of creative experimentation.

"I don't know what's going to come out of me," I told her. "It has to be perfect. It has to be irreproachable in every way."

"Why?" she said.

"To make up for it," I said. "To make up for the fact that it's me."
