this moment will be important later on. remember how badly you wanted to run, little rabbit. remember when you stayed and you came to find fangs still in your mouth and a beating heart in your chest. Beating fast, little rabbit. beating still.

Here is my most recent publication in the Water Your Cellphone zine! Please give it a read and a heart if you please:) It’s a very small zine and I’d love for you all to show your support with a visit ❤️❤️❤️ some of you may recognize this poem, although it’s been edited a bit more since I shared it here. I’m extremely proud of it (and hesitant to share on personal social media at this point.)

When and how did you realize you were a good writer?

I’ve always enjoyed writing, as long as I COULD write I liked to write stories. there’s this thing that Ira Glass calls the gap, which is when you have good taste for sometime like literature or art or pottery but you don’t have the talent for it yet. that gap kills a lot of potential artists and prevents them from building a skillset. I was lucky in a way… by the time I was a teenager I was pretty good at creative writing because i Simply spent all these years practicing.

Poetry was a little different because I wasn’t a huge fan of poetry until my 20s. When it came to poetry, technical work felt less important than saying what couldn’t be left unsaid. I wasn’t writing to impress, i was writing to survive. And once i survived i built a creative practice that I engage in every single day, which i think has dramatically improved my writing!
