@UNWILTED i've never thought about grief pheromones before. now i can't stop. also, the layering of the mundane and the philosophical is done so effortlessly here (4.9.25).
Y'all, one of my favorite poets is coming out with a new book this fall but the cover is literally so ugly lmao I'mma still support my queen but that cover...I hope there's an alternative lol
My poem is finally published!!! Here's a link:

@UNWILTED that's wonderful! i'm so proud of you <3 also, LOVED the poem! 'All the ashes I won't eat' — I had to stop breathing there. this piece crawled inside my ribs and made a nest. Thank you for writing this. and congratulations on such a devastatingly gorgeous publication!
omg have you heard of the button poetry first book prize?!
u should enter. ik you would absolutely smash it!! your poetry is of such a high standard. the grand prize is apparently publication of a book of poems, and 1k. i personally think your poems are worth WAY more than that; but just thought i'd let you know if you hadn't already considered it !!! ❤️
The urge to write poems about space, time, absent fathers, and stars eating their own planets
Working on a short story I might want to publish in a literary journal...what is this sorcery?

I got accepted to another literary journal on the anniversary of my grandma's passing. She had something to do with it, I swear.
@UNWILTED congratulations! this feels like more than just luck; maybe it's love, lingering in places we can't always see.
