TIMBER just dropped their summer issue, which includes my poem “The Folk Band in Our Chest,” & lovely poems by Eduardo Martinez-Leyva, Hajara Quinn, and Gale Marie Thompson, too.

"your winter-husked city is a church full of provocateurs. every prophet. every nihilist. i collect them all. wash ash off each forehead, set lamps in their ruins; tend to their ghosts as if they were my own orphans."

Happy Friday! Gorgeous work from Scherezade Siobhan in Timber Journal’s winter issue.

"I'm waiting / for a man much taller than me / to scratch his neck tats / & whisper in my ear: / Repent, my dude, repent."

This ending kills me. Poem by Justin Brouckaert in Timber Journal's new winter issue!

i - draped  in jacquard-woven silk. my lap snugged in ancestral velvet. a cradle for the nest egg. horizontal as a grindstone i pestle my girlhood into. girl. sacred. earthbound. ore. jewel. root. grave.

Scherezade Siobhan, from “Raga” (Published in Timber Journal)

An interview I did for Timber with the AMAZING poet Lo Kwa Mei-en. (Her poems will appear in our winter issue!) Discussing tardigrades, dream worlds, and poetic sustenance.

I found Rome brick/ I leave it marble, // my Florida water – now / I can cross the shifting sands. Now / excuse me, I have // to go, this / is the fish of my dreams.

My poem of last words, up at Timber Journal today. Read it here, along with other great poems & prose.
