I had one poem published in June 2023, “Beneath an Unknown Sky,” which appears in the Summer Solstice issue of Eternal Haunted Summer.

I wrote this poem specifically for the anthology, involving cats on a spaceship and how their shedding might gum up the works a […]

June is just around the corner, so it’s time for another month of writing prompts! For this month, the words are drawn from a variety of sources and aren’t necessarily themed toward the month.
