I saw a challenge and knew I had to attempt it. It was worth the literal hours I spent working on it.
Also, massive shoutout to @LRBPoetry.bsky.social and Flossie Hedges who quoted my previous publications in their poems. It's incredibly flattering, and their pieces are wonderful, so be sure to read their poems as well.
The new issue of @the-engine-idling.bsky.social is live! My cento crown of sonnets "The Idle Crown" is made of work from all 7 past issues, so check out one of the hardest poems I've ever written. Check it out below:

When you only publish one poem per issue it HAS to be a banger, and @carriganak.bsky.social really delivers

Received acceptances from @fullhouselitmag.bsky.social and @shinepoetry.bsky.social today! The former will publish my ekphrastic "Yard Sale" in March, and the latter will publish three pieces online and in print later this year. Be sure to look out for them!
