- hi .................... i just got a ploughshares acceptance and am vry happy
- hi. what's a poetry collection that's so complex/layered that you could write a dissertation on it, if given the chance? what's That Book for you rn?
- i hate it when editors try to change my spellings of words. let me have treeshade. let me have leafrustle & shimmerweed. let me queer everything in sight
- (through gritted teeth) i love being rejected by poetry magazine it is necessary for my personal development
- no hate but what’s everyone’s favorite “i spot a pretentious poet” word? mine is azure
- my poems got rejected despite the fact that i'm literally sexy. shocked & confused
- hi. who's an emerging poet you love who deserves way more attention?
- hi. what were your first three publications in lit journals? trying to compile a list of places that are open to (very) emerging writers. ❤️
- adding an anti-acknowledgments section to my book & listing everyone who was mean to me
