My debut collection WHITE DOOR is out!!! 💃✨💃 Thank you Carbonation Press & @gregbem.bsky.social! Link to order and more info in 🧵 DM for signed copies/to review 🙏💙 Watch this space for events/news 😊

three copies of white door on patterned upholstery fabric. cover image shows detail of Alternative Reality by Alan Sirulnikoff, photographer:
logs floating on dark water and a white door among them.

front and backside of bookmark on same surface. Front shows detail of book cover, centering the door among logs. title isn't shown. Backside has a poem from the book printed on it plus attributions:

Horizons

Traditions I keep
take hold in this soil slowly—
home grows fainter still
until
distant slopes briefly
make me forget where I am,
re-etch longing.

yours truly (white woman, shoulder-length dark-blondish hair, glasses, dark green sweater, scarf with green and gray leafmotif) smiling into camera holding the book in front of her, white bookshelves along white walls in the background.
