Our Spring 2026 Collection bears witness to the human heart—
girlhood & grief, rage & reclamation, desire & defiance, love & lineage.
Four voices, one chorus of transformation:
Where poetry meets survival, & story becomes healing.

So, I was recently featured in The Nation, which is kind of a big deal. But also, I was interviewed by a high school student for the student paper in February, which is also a big deal. His questions were really smart. I don't think I shared it earlier. vikingsaga.org/20001/qa/in-c…

thinking about the difference between loving yourself and loving yourself back, thanks to this very short Andrea Gibson poem
ALT DIAGNOSIS I suffer from unrequited self love. I love myself, but I don't love myself back.
