a collection of some of the works i'm proudest of-- some have been published, some haven't. feel free to check out my publications or muse ariadne club pages if you want to see & know more

PALM FRONDS SWING IN THE EVENING SKY - a poem from a moment i looked up

TUE, SEP 24, 6:01-6:10 PM - a poem about marcellus williams, two days after his death

Call It Dead Weight - a short story inspired by intense & personal feelings about carrying life, abortion, and family. it doesn't hold up amazingly technique-wise, but it's special to me

grotesque, broadcasted - a poem about palestinian resistance, love, martyrs, etc

locked, falling; for generations - a poem about being all of your ancestors

The Rebirth of Venus as a Dyke - a poem about being coming out queer young & always feeling like a teacher

[untitled, ‘untitled’ not being the title] - a poem about mosh pits & sensory-seeking & loving someone, which i often refer to as the mosh pit poem

ON LOU SULLIVAN’S ADVICE - a poem about how i don't want to pass & experiences differ & histories get twisted

details - a collection of poems i liked (but not enough to give them each their own pages) from an assignment where i had to write 80 poems in two weeks. it was genuinely torturous

horseshoe - a flash fiction (prosetry?) piece about luck, connection, loneliness, etc. figure it out for yourself

and i'm her again - a short story about disability & burnout & disabled relationship dynamics

Ranch Dogs - a narrative poem that trying to describe would just be re-writing the poem shittily

ANDRA VIGNETTES - some character study vignettes, in the style of journal entries. i have mixed feelings about their quality, but they hold a special place in my heart (especially the first two)

Sickness in a Cool, Coastal Wood - a poem about the AIDS epidemic

foreign bodies - a poem about immigration & separation from family & home

Parasitic - a flash fiction piece about a sunburn & a controlling relationship
