Adventuring Into Podcasting

New Poem: “Zyprexa: Generic being, Olanzapine”

(Text reads):
I want you to look
at the jagged glass
Keep your focus
on your wayward eyes
Now follow the heart-
beat in your throat
Quiet that factory
of thought
Exhale all smoke-
ish
Inhale all chemical-
like
You have lived
so unbalanced
But hey, here you
are, kind, and sleepy
and smiling
So,
so,
sincerely

Rogue Fest 2022 – #FresnoWritersLive
Here I am, reading at Rogue Fest 2022 on March 5th at Goldstein’s in Fresno. This was part of #FresnoWritersLive with the support of the Fresno State Creative Writing MFA program and CWAA. I read with three amazing poets, Aidan, Shelby, and Ceci, who are my fellow CWAA members. This video is of my portion of the reading. Thank you to everyone who made this possible, and to my familia who made it out to see me!
A New Poem & A New Page
I recently had the absolute pleasure and honor to be a reader at Lit Hop Fresno 2021! The theme for my group was “Writing The Domestic” or “Women’s Work.” I composed 3 poems, specifically for the event, and read an oldie but a goodie from Moon Ride (“It’s A Girl”). Thinking about the theme of domesticity and the tediousness of women’s work naturally led to me writing a poem about an android woman refusing to do work. Here is the visual representation of that poem!

I also want to let you know that I have a new area on my page where I list all of my previous publications. It’s under “Work.” (You can click that right there!)
One last thing! A reminder to follow me on my socials, if you please:
Thank you for reading!
