I wrote a book of poems that came out last April from @GhostCityPress. It is a manic collection about healing, artistic purpose, purgatorial wandering, and ball pits. I feel often like I am both through and inside of that threshold. Please read it.

ALT poem for my lover, mr. furious
i am cakebaked and collapsed
into you on my floor mattress
on the last tuesday sundown of june and
i am once again asking where the fuck
you came from. and itβs not that i donβt
know what history books will say
about you and me, but rather that i
may never understand this new
and invisible gossamer which kisses me
each time i bristle at a gentle shoulder
graze but liquefy back into you once
i see myself in the softest darks
of your irises as i would reflected
in morning coffee.
We got very behind on shipping things that people ordered right before Christmas, and through the holidays. All outstanding orders will ship on Monday. Apologies to all β chaotic and busy holiday Ms and back to work week.
This year I had a small book published processing a forward propulsion over a threshold. It kind of disappeared into the black hole of the internet, but Iβm proud of it. If you want a present for your loved one that will confuse them, I have 6 copies for $12, free shipping. :)
Iβm so happy to share the cover for Are You There, my debut full-length poetry collection, and share the bookβs pre-order link. So many thanks to @badbettypress, Amy, and Jake, who have believed in my work (and continue to!).

Are You There is out on the 25th April 2024.
Pre-order it here: badbettypress.com/product/arβ¦
Also available to pre-order from @Waterstones or in e-book form from anywhere.
In Are You There, @smnthfn refracts contemporary melancholia into iridescent lyricism. Grief, mania, pop culture, faith, quantum physics & digital relationships collide, alive with the spiky humour of brutal self-awareness, aglow with startling new language.
Sam Fain is a poet from Indiana, and the author of pamphlets Coughing Up Planets @VAPoetry & sad horse music @dailydrunkmag - translated as MΓΊsica de Caballo Triste by Catalina Ponce of Cicada Editora. Sam is co-editor of @kissurdarlings@OlneyMagazine.

It took me 3 weeks, but I have read & responded to nearly 1,800 pieces of writing submitted during Nov 20th's 24-hour sub window by more than 500 creative talents. I've made Issues 14 (Jan '24) & 15 (April '24) and I would very much like it if you'd pre-order 14 or subscribe π€π€
