This has been immensely under wraps because the date was super tentative but I can finally speak out 100% about it.

My chapbook UNTIL THE COWS COME HOME is getting published on Elation Press and will be available during my tour (and post tour will be available online for purchase). I’m very excited about this project as I was able to work with friends on every step except the printing. Elation Press is run by Marta Lapczynski who is amazingly talented and hardworking and kind and I could not sing their praises louder and very generously is putting this small collection on their press for wider consumption. The cover illustration (pictured) was drawn by Kirsty Hambrick, and everything I had hoped for was done without fail and then some, I am beyond proud and humbled to have such great work as the face of my words. To top all of this off, Giorgia Sage designed and arranged the manuscript in a way that showcases what I put together wonderfully, choosing the type, margin, design of it all.

I am immensely grateful to these three for their work and faith and this could not be done without them.

If you’d like to get a copy come out to a show for the tour:

every so often, i would take breaks from thesis & other things to mess around with some witchsona stuff, so this happened. my magic would be stoically floating places and looking just boring enough so nobody would suspect me of practicing necromancy. there would also be some herbalist stuff goin on. in other words, i'm basically the same!
