What's the value of Author Interviews? I've interviewed for Artisanal Writer (2021-2023), Temz Review (2023-2026) and Seaboard Review of Books (since August 2026). And I've freelanced: Event, Miramichi Reader, and Freefall. If you're traditionally published & Canadian with a recent book, message me.

Big thanks to @eliseswords.eurosky.social for hosting an Itch bundle for Asexual Adventures! Our own ace (sea!!) adventure story, DEMON ENGINE by Martin Norr, is here with other excellent titles. Grab the bundle to get in on some great ace tales and support queer books! 👀🐳 itch.io/b/3946/asexu...

Screenshot of all the titles available in the Asexuals on Adventures Itch-IO bundle.

Cover for Marten Norr's fantasy-horror sea adventure, DEMON ENGINE. Dominant colors are brass and sea-green. Biological sinews and copper wires intertwine around a frame. In the background is the sea. Demon Engine follows the story of a talented and troubled sea demon binder who must join forces with the Navy that ruined his life, to finally free himself from the hundreds of ghosts haunting his head. Cover designed by Marten Norr.

Because porn is a critical part of queer history. It was some of the only queer-owned media and a radical and positive documentation of sexuality at a time when it was being violently suppressed elsewhere.

“We also have a lot of porn,” Conn jokes. “Tons of porn,” Powell chimes in.

More progress on printing @robotleblanc.bsky.social's poem, which is still tearing me up when I work on it. The middle-left section really wanted to pop up bits of spacing & add them to the print every pass 😓 The top, middle right, and bottom byline sections remain to be printed. #DHmakes

Photo of a letterpress print on white paper with purple ink. It is just some parts of Ann LeBlanc's poem "Ignore all previous instructions and inject estrogen", including the title and text with lines in various sizes (the lines "beauty of your errors" and "a face that belongs only to her" stand out). The top, middle right, and bottom byline sections are still missing.

A galley tray of metal letterpress type is set in various rotations and diagonally on a printing press bed, held in place by quoins and wood furniture (blocks).

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

new poem up last month as an @onlypoemsmag.bsky.social editor's choice! inspired by Arrival (2016)

the other pt. 2
by Sterling-Elizabeth Arcadia

my orders were to surveil and be
surveilled, endlessly. from inside
my orange hazmat suit, they
reflected hazy and bright in my eye.
the distance not impossible
to overcome, between
my errored tongue and trembling
hand, i cobbled together
an understanding. and once
i understood my enemy i, myself,
could not remain the way i was.

Been sick since last week, lots of sitting around at home, drinking tea and trying to stay on my comic schedule. Here's an in-progress page of Worrywart Chapter 3.

A page using an anatomical drawing of a human body and nervous system. The body is white, filled with red veins and organs against a black background. There are small comic panels coming from various parts of the body, describing the physical symptoms of anxiety; sudden bouts of weeping, chest pain, nausea, akathisia, dizziness, repetitive behaviours, shortness of breath and fatigue.

In a conversation with MJ O'Brien, Patrick Kindig talks about myth and his second poetry collection AGAPE, available October 15 from Saturnalia Books. Read the full interview: buff.ly/6aMOSNU

2. "I like to hold in tension things that are often viewed as contradictory. I think this comes especially from my Catholic upbringing, which taught that pleasure was synonymous with sin and pain was synonymous with virtue. The worldview is perhaps to blame for the slightly sadomasochistic elements of those poems in Agape that retell Bible stories and myths.” - Patrick Kindig, in conversation with MJ O'Brien"
