Ahhhhhhhhh I’m so close it’s happening!!!!

On a plane for Baltimore after a 3-year AWP hiatus. Got nothin to show for all that time except a quiet stack of research notes on the historical novel I swear I’m actually gonna write someday soon. Catch me happily following @avitusbcarle.bsky.social around, per usual.

And YES, back by popular demand, the dry erase magnets are back as well and will be given with proof of purchase of THESE WORN BODIES

Also, I wouldn’t DARE show up empty handed! If you LOVE flash, experimental forms and femme characters breaking boundaries I have the book for you! I’ll have copies of my flash fiction collection, THESE WORN BODIES, and would be more than happy to sign your copy.

The events are SWARMING all over social media for #AWP26 so imma just post my “Where to Find Me at #AWP” in the hopes that I’ll see you there!

Writer friends who write by hand…what do you do with/ how do you store all your hand written drafts?!?!

Did you hear about the Black man? The Black woman? Black boys? With a rope? From a tree? Bodies becoming ornaments. Dismissed then silenced then overlooked then added to the number of Black bodies who never came home.

A powerful piece by @avitusbcarle.bsky.social
