TIKTOK
I perform readings of my poetry on this tiktok pretty regularly–I aim for once a week–but, hey, life gets in the way sometimes.
Literature/POETRY BLogs
my personal poetry blog–just a place where I test my designs and post VISPO for people to read. Usually the poems on this page are in early stage of VISPO design
i-eat-poetry-like-air
a tumblr where I review and rate independent poetry and literature. Just got it off the ground. I’m a little behind schedule right now, but I plan to get caught up.
Deaths Dormant Daughter
a tumblr lit blog dedicated to grief, sadness, and loss. Founded Nov. 2021. The plan is for an annual call for submissions and a journal release every winter.
a subset of Death’s Dormant Daughter meant to handle horror, pop culture, and weird. Specifically a subjournal meant to capture the spirit of Halloween.
Currently open for submissions based on horror, gothic, and grotesque romance–
subs close October 01, 2022.
