Thought it was time to update and tidy up my pinned post so here it is! I wrote two books! Please consider supporting me & buying a copy if you have the means!
You Make Yourself Another
Who are you, really? That is the question at the heart of Lucy Hannah Ryan’s short story collection You Make Yourself Another, a visceral, tender, and elusive meditation on transformation in its many guises. Named for an insult hurled at Hamlet’s Ophelia, You Make Yourself Another blurs genre and gender lines to illuminate a state of sharp, queer flux. From a girl whose illness has her slipping between the veil of life and death to a grieving model on the path of self-destruction, from the mystery behind a teenager’s disappearance to a woman’s journey through bodily autonomy via strange metamorphosis, this collection haunts and hollows in equal measure.
Available through the publisher as well as most good book stores including Barnes and Noble and Waterstones. Please leave a kind review on Goodreads and Storygraph.
Death and the Maiden
she wants to tell you about the beehive under her bedroom window but she can't get past the way it sounds like childhood / when she was little and god was a glass eye and nine spotlights yellow as egg yolks. Death & the Maiden: Odes to the Dead Girls of Pop Culture is a look at popular culture from an oft-forgotten vantage; the girls left behind. Sixteen poems for sixteen fictional dead girls, some sad, some wistful, some furious, this chapbook is equal parts celebration and elegy.
