my new favourite rejection response just dropped… oh to have the unearned confidence of a mediocre white man

i’ve been reading tarot for a decade, treating the cards less as prophecy than permission, play, pleasure, possibility. next month, i’m bringing them into the classroom in my new generative workshop, ‘the fool, the magician, the poet: tarot as poetic practise’: buttonpoetry.com/product/butt...

can’t wait to spend a long weekend talking about my two favourite things, my friends & half mystic! i’ll be on two #awp27 panels, including my first time ever moderating, for a conversation about editorial identity in subject-focused literary magazines. see you in chicago 🌹

my dearest @aribcofer.com asked me to write a love letter for their readers about what kept me alive in july—this strange achey glimmer of a month, cough drop sweet, possible as a piano. here it is, with part of a poem from ‘portrait of my body as a crime i’m still committing’ ☀️

no babe i think your unfinished novel draft is so chic. the way you dream about your characters at night but the minute you sit down to write your mind goes blank & you get up to vacuum instead? it’s very avant garde. cutting-edge performance art. you should get a book deal on vibes, actually

i spent six hours teaching today & it was one of the best saturdays i’ve had in a long time. forever astounded by my brilliant students & their curiosity & care for every poem we touch together. forever grateful i get to spend my life in service of the art that has endlessly changed & saved me 🤍

some news! i am forever @sundresspub.bsky.social’s biggest fan, & it’s a true honour to be selected for the writers of colour residency fellowship — the first time i’ve been funded for fiction (!!!) but my third time at firefly farms. let’s make some magick on this novel ✨

delighted to reemerge at the joyful noise of #awp26 after many moons in my cocoon! find me signing books at the button poetry booth, reading at an impossibly cool offsite venue, & speaking on a panel on humour in queer poetics. i’ll be the ghost in red lipstick; say hello while i’m still corporeal 🌹
