So ummmm… where is Unsinkable I these days?

A boat docked in an Amsterdam canal. There are plants growing inside, and it's filled to the brim with water. The name of the boat is Unsinkable II. Taken November 2024.
Me coming out of 2024 🫠

Writing

Forthcoming

New poem forthcoming from Please See Me, issue 17! I got to work with poetry editor Steve Granzyk in 2021, when he published two poems in their 7th issue. His feedback really improved those poems, which both appeared in TGP.

Residency

Heading soon to a short residency at Greywood Arts in Killeagh, Ireland. I have more than enough poems for a new collection, so I’ll be editing, organizing, & probably drafting new poems for my second manuscript.

Redacted

A couple months ago I had some poems accepted to literary journal here in Europe. After a frustrating experience at every step of the editorial, publishing, & even shipping processes, we have agreed that my poems will not appear in future reprints.

I’ve removed the journal from the Links page, and posted the poems on Instagram.


Languages

Current Duolingo streak: 2,666 days (as of )

Still doing this shit because I probably wouldn’t make myself study otherwise. Just hit a 7-year streak last month.


Other goings on

I’ve become one of those people who reads multiple books at a time. I think it’s because I started using Libby last year, and when a hold comes available I have to start reading or go to the back of the line. I haven’t found it to be as dysregulating as I would have expected.
