Very awed to be in @kenyonreview Summer 2024 “Extinction” issue. Thank you @nicoletdutton and the editorial team. I wrote “Failed Eulogy” amid shade losses that were not the losses I thought they’d be. Shade is a place…

I got to write about one of my favorite poetry collections and what it’s meant for me as a bby drag queen in an increasingly hostile state. Much thanks to the fabulous editors and to @taylordorrell for the advice ✨🪩

If you want to donate to Gaza, I recommend MECA. Middle East Children’s Alliance. They work in Gaza right now along with other organizations. They are also the sponsors of the Edward Said Library. Go to their website and find the link to support Gaza Emergency.
