Pink Ochre Magazine
Here is my most recent publication! A poem I wrote called "Maw" In an online litmag called Pink Ochre. I like the design of this one, and I'm happy this poem found a home. I enjoy writing very visceral and somewhat disgusting things like this. I'm not sure when the next two will be out as they have yet to post release dates, one will release in October however.

Florida Bards poetry anthology 2026
The above was one of the poems which was handed out at the opening of a local bookstore near my parents home in Florida, and I'm pleased to say that it's currently published in an anthology: I want to update my blog whenever my work is featured anywhere, but I've been busy and distracted. Some publication dates have been moved around, one I believe might be available tomorrow and I'm very excited! Primarily however I'm on instagram, and I'm thinking of continuing to update ab

Reading Update #2
Today is world book day and I thought it was as good a day as any to make a reading update. When I last posted one I had read 18 books this year, as of today I have read 33, so continuing on from "Legends and Lattes": 19-20. These were two issues of a manga called "The guy she was interested in wasn't a guy at all." It's a Yuri I found at Kinokuniya in NYC, I usually don't count manga etc on my reading list but I'm not sure why I do that, it is still reading. I have a huge we

Dirt Freckles
I haven't posted in a while, and today I intend to compile what I've read in previous months, but I also want to post about my work when it becomes published in any litmags etc. Today two of my poems appeared in Dirt Freckles. I think the title of this publication is adorable. The poems are Stellaria's Dream and Sommar, and I also wanted to list my favorite's from the other work published in this issue: Freckled - Paul Hostovsky Table Rock - Cherry Cheesman Salamanders - Paul

umKava and Tiger Dust
Aside from my work being featured at the bookshelf grand opening recently, some of my poems are now at the usual cafe where I go to play mtg with my fiance, and at the oddity shop where my book club is held! I want to share and talk about them, and I'm so thankful that these businesses think my work is good enough to be represented in their spaces. At the cafe, there is this one about one of my first rats who passed away. She was a really darling, gentle thing. I really love

The Bookshelf grand opening
I was so honored this weekend to have some of my poetry featured at the grand opening of The Bookshelf, one of my poems was given away with every purchase, though they ran out a few hours before the end of the event, I really wish I had printed more! These were the poems which were featured: A Changeling is a Faerie child swapped with a human child at birth. The ogham (The lines at the top) spell Aisling, my “magical name” which I received in a dream and use in Pagan space

The Ringling
I spent the other day at one of my favorite art galleries and gardens. There is also obviously much to do with the history of the circus here, but I am less interested in that. I had creme brulee for the first time in a while, it's one of my favorites. A little early for roses I think but some of them were out, and they were beautiful. I got these matching plushies for myself and one of my best friends in NYC, I brought them to take pictures of them together before I send it

NYC
Recently I visited NYC with my grandmother. It was my second time coming here, and while I generally do not like large cities, it was full of memories I will cherish with her forever. I hope to visit again perhaps next year with someone else. There are many things to do. Despite the grime, there is a lot of beauty and magic to be discovered. On Ellis island I discovered my ancestor who came there from Ireland, and I have taken his name for my pen name. As I feel that my novel

Reading update
I've read 18 books so far this year and I wanted to catch up with them on here so that at the end of March I can just start making monthly posts about what I've read each month. Here are the things from January and February, including what I dropped etc. Most of these are from my bookstagram, bunnys.book burrow. Lud-in-the-mist, my first read of the year, something for my irl book club and now one of my most favorite books ever! I think this will likely be the best thing I've
