Still in disbelief that my debut full-length is coming out in spring 2026 with a dream press! Looking forward to working with @Noemi_Press on this project that I've mostly kept to myself until now.
Congratulations to Felicia Zamora! I'm so honored to be published alongside you.

This has been the hardest secret to keep. My debut full-length poetry collection MAYBE THE BODY is forthcoming from @Tin_House in 2026! So, so thankful to Alyssa for believing in my work, and to all the friends and mentors who have cheered me on!

The wonderful Kalamazoo Book Arts Center has created a stunning limited edition broadside of one of my new poems "October," featuring woodblock art by Martin Hubbard. They're signed (by me) and numbered by the artist. You can preorder it here: kalbookarts.org/shop/broadsi…

Oof #LibraryTwitter . I’m seeing white librarians here and on other platforms sharing that their workplaces are safe and welcoming for minority groups and while *you* may think that, it’s not your declaration to make.

We need to have a serious conversation about slavery--its ahistoricism--and how blackness exists outside of time. Slavery was never simply or completely configured as a material circumstance--but as a state of mind and of being.

Beauty is enslaved in critical philosophy. It has no domain over which to impose limitations.
