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: All of April, Much of May (Down and Out in Two Sides of London)
This was a post I began in late April, and yet here it is, the middle of May, the world softly spiralling past spring and into summer and I have felt somewhat dragged down, distracted lately, hence nothing truly coming together.

It is 2019 and it is January and I thought by now that death would stop being my muse but she is still carving a diamond scythe into my words until the blood falls in the shape of a fairytale and what I’m saying is I am learning to talk to death in ways that…

Published: Something Like A Spotlight / Oh God She's Talking About Jesus Again and Tarot Poems
I told you I was being busy, and I meant it. I’ve just set up two new pieces on my payhip, Something Like A Spotlight, and Oh God, She’s Talking About Jesus Again. Something Like A Spotlight is LGBT romantic fluff, wherein a nonbinary singer songwriter becomes smitten with the accidentally charming barista at the…

In Print: Haiku Journal #58 and WhyMag Promo
It’s been a little while since I last posted, and I will excuse myself in the round up post, but in the time since I last posted, I’ve had a couple of things come through. I’m always very excited and honoured to be a part of Haiku Journal – which happened to be the very…
