My book is officially out!

Many thanks to @ilcontephotography for allowing us to use his wonderful photograph for the cover. I couldn't have dreamed of a better or more fitting artwork for this poetry collection!

You can get it as a physical book or a digital one:

to purchase the physical copy, head over to amazon (my editor is specialized in digital and print on demand publishing);

to purchase the digital (epub) copy, go directly to the editor's website.

And finally... (transcript in image description)

Thank you for your time, and happy reading! 🩵

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🎉🎉🎊🎊🥳🥳🎉🎉🎊🎊🥳🥳

🫵 i am not asking. Buy Carmine’s book of poetry

But genuinely, Carmine is a poet with a magisterial grasp of form and writes better in his 2nd language than most poets will ever write in their first. I cannot recommend this collection strongly enough. Dive in, let yourself be seduced by the mysteries

avoidance is lowkey funny because it’s like i don’t want love on the off chance that it gets taken away from me and then i have to become john wick or something

we’re all on the only social media that matters and this is why.

people will describe their incredibly nebulous sexuality to you that they’ve never been able to define and the whole time you’re thinking that sounds like bisexuality brother

im saying shit like this to women all the time

[sabertoothwalrus]

hello instagram artist. your challenge is to do a portrait study of a woman but you’re not allowed to stylize them so their eyes are really big and more cat eyed than the reference photo. You’re also not allowed to make their noses more of a button nose or their lips full and pouty or their faces heart shaped with no double chin. Also you have to draw a fat woman. one thats actually fat and not just slightly curvier than the kpop demon hunters body type. good luck

characters who get the "i can fix him" urge not because theyre a saint who loves everyone inherently but because they think "if i can prove there's good in everyone, maybe i can start feeling like i'm worthy or being seen as good too."
