Poetry Collection Finally Published

I am now a poet with the goods to prove it~🖋

BEFORE READING

Please help aid my friend Deema and her family’s escape from Ġaza to safety in Miṣr by supporting their GoFundMe. Whether you do so through donating to it yourself, sharing the link to it, or simply helping boost its spotlight in the algorithm.

They have a big family and are so close to their goal.

Don’t forget to keep helping a comrade with type 1 diabetes afford insulin.

Today (Nov 17^th 2024), my second book of all time is out in the world.

EARTH HAGIOGRAPHY is a poetry collection about the legacy of colonialism, indigenous identity, ideology, solidarity, the intersection of history and politics, queerness of all stripes, and lots and lots of pain and grief and righteous hate. It’s also about evil things like police states, and mental illness, and my moth—

I would like to thank SWANA, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe for making this possible. You three might be the only things I’ll ever love (alongside cats, flat breads, and bear mace).

All royalties earned will be donated to Mosaic Middle East which provides relief to refugees in Jordan and Irāq, with an additional focus on persecuted ethnic and religious minorities.

σ̌ερεφέ, εταίριν!

A reminder also that I’m still doing a 2-book give-away on Instagram—signed copies of NON SERVIAM, my poetic grimdark political mystery X dystopian gothic fantasy debut (first in a duology (ARC sign-ups for the second installment will open soon teehee))~📖🎭🗡️🥀🕯️🩸👁️

I’ve actually extended its deadline to January ‘cause I just can’t get it together right now (debilitating depression (alliteration means I’ve still got it though~💃)).

—KEEP IN MIND that unless you’re based in Aotearoa, “Australia”, Viti/Fijī*, Papua Niu Gini*, Sāmoa*, Tonga*, Vanuatu*, or possibly some other Pacific Islands, you will likely be required to pay customs.

Finally my obscene purple prose might actually be appreciated (Anglos hate us cuz they ain’t us~💅✨🪬)
