I had one new publication in July, which was my poem “The Whale Shark’s Stars,” which appeared in Strange Horizons. This is an interlocking rubāʿīyāt, which is a slightly complicated format, but I was pleased at how well it worked for this poem! You can read it on the Strange Horizons website!

As I mentioned previously, I’m working through Stephen Fry’s The Ode Less Travelled very slowly to absorb as much wisdom as I can about writing poetry. This week’s post covers Chapter 3, Section 10, on the sonnet. Why does the sonnet get its own section? Well, there’s a lot of history to unpack, two major forms, […]

My next collection, Dead-Starred Futures, is out August 15, 2023, and it’s time to reveal the cover! This collection is all tiny pieces–flash fiction down to drabbles and poetry, so it will be a quick read but bursting with all sorts of dystopian and post-apocalyptic science fiction. It’s a darker counterpart to Droplets from the Universe. Visions […]

I spoke on a couple of panels about poetry at Flights of Foundry, specifically ones on form poetry and the history of speculative poetry, along with teaching a workshop as an introduction to speculative poetry. Form poetry is a huge topic, one I’ve been tackling here with my slow reading of Stephen Fry’s The Ode Less […]

As I mentioned previously, I’m working through Stephen Fry’s The Ode Less Travelled very slowly to absorb as much wisdom as I can about writing poetry. This week’s post covers Chapter 3, Section 8, on comic forms. This section only covers three forms, and I would argue that the first of them doesn’t have to be […]
