I wrote this at @ubccrwr.bsky.social and then sat on it for years, worried it wasn't good enough to share. And, in fact, I regret that silliness: this is a great piece of aufofiction. Do please enjoy.

Sometimes you gotta be very angry with what's happened in your personal life, and you gotta write a poem about it years later!

I remain shockingly talented. Wrote this before I even did my postgrad CRWR vibe, and it's one of the only things from the Before-Times I still enjoy. Do enjoy, alongside me.

it's causing me a major existential crisis tbh: do I quote MUNA or Britney or the Torah??
I wrote a cento #poem on #substack which is one of my favourites ever, drawing in lines from Mary Oliver, Sappho, Stephen Spender, and more...
Cheeky photo of Vancouver attached to it too, because I can't let go of my UBC-MFA past.
love poetry swarming outta me, hellishly happy with this one

I wrote about the end of days. Maybe you can relate. #horror #substack
Some lines from a new piece of vulnerable hecking poetry from me. The piece is called The Flop's Song. xo

Incredibly proud of @tanvibhatia.bsky.social -- she's killing it ALL the time, but I feel like every time I open social media lately I see her doing something else cool! Appreciation and adoration post.
Yours is identical to mine! ✨
told my friend she was drawing her eyebrows too high and then she looked at me all surprised
Wrote a love story. A love story with zero demonic presences or poltergeists, so I'm really challenging myself here. Check out the #substack post here.

Continued work in progress on this one but nearly completed. 24x30” acrylic on canvas.
Started writing this one AND drew its accompanying art whilst at @ubccrwr.bsky.social -- time flies. Now I'm old and tired but look fondly back on the art from that time.
A vision of total neediness from one side of a Facebook chat. New #poetry on my #substack.
listening to Denial is a River like it will give me clues to salvation (and it definitely will)
it's honestly despicable, agreed 100%
