YMYA Diaries: The Summer I Watched Nothing But Horror Movies
They aren’t perfect movies, and parts certainly frustrate me, but I can’t say the delirium of fear and brutality and, yes, horror, didn’t consume me. I could feel their influence breathing hotly down my throat as I sharpened lines in the book. I pushed a little harder, indulged some more in the dark.

ymya diaries: you make yourself another
I’ve been struggling for a while to articulate I’ve been feeling lately, how to pin down this fleeting, transmutable emotion that comes with a dramatic shift but here it is; things are in bloom. If you’re new here, and you probably are, welcome! If you want an idea for the feel of this blog, I’d…

In Print: Death & The Maiden
I can’t believe I forgot to talk about this here but… well, I wrote a book. Actually, I wrote two books, a book of short stories which I put together over 5 years and is still going through the editorial process to make it perfect and polished and beautiful, and a little book of pop…

Round Up: Not Drowning, But Waving
The world has turned and I am still finding a balance. The world has turned. I am finding a balance. The world has turned, and I’m not sure what balance is. It has been a long year since I last updated here, I am notoriously terrible for keeping this up. Things happen in avalanche, and…

In Print: Corvid Queen & Everything Else From The Year That Wasn't
It has been rather a long time since I last checked in. It’s been a hell of a year (or two) and I have not always had the language or the energy to keep up these correspondences. Additionally, I just didn’t publish a lot in that time – which isn’t to say I wasn’t writing.…

Round Up: The Agony and the Ecstasy (+ In Print: Nosebleed Club & Closet Cases)
Hello, my loves. It’s been a while. I can only apologise. There has been a lot going on irl these last few months – my chronic illness worsened, I went on dates, I got some rejections and a fair few acceptance letters, I lost my phone (which is why last month’s tarot poems got scrapped…

In Print: The Isolation of Recovery (The Tired Girl Society)
Darlings, it’s raining hard in the middle of June and the grey outside is infectious. As Anne Sexton once said: It is June. I am tired of being brave. This week has been something of a struggle, even if I’m typing this on a Wednesday afternoon. I feel as though I’ve been losing grip of…

Body Talks: There's Nothing Poetic About Needles in the Back of Your Skull
