It's my birthday, and this bloody hellscape is crumbling. It's REALLY frigging hard to sell books and even harder when social media doesn't function in even the most basic of ways. So today all I'm asking is that if you see this, you retweet it. I have a short story collection

This book is so beautiful.
I loved working with @CarlAlex97 on these poems, thinking deeply together about motifs and language and form. Carl is so, so talented and I'm very excited for this launch via @Lighthousebks and @StewedBooks! 🌼🌼🌼
