Had so much fun at the Poetry Society of Texas Awards Banquet 2025. I did win 6 awards for my poems, and my manuscript won second place in the Catherine Case Lubbe Manuscript Contest. (so close!) #poetrysocietyofTexas #poetrycommunity #DentonPoetryAssembly #DPA #poetryaward

I posted about Feral Journal and The Revolution Issue already, but now I’ve got the print version. And it is a gorgeous volume! I have two poems within, but I’d also love to call out poems by Mac Chamberlain and Nathan Doyle. #feral #poetry #revolution #resist
