Poetry sale: ‘The Alchemist’s Lover’
I’m amused by the fact that my most recent publications both have ‘lover’ in the title. In other words: ‘The Alchemist’s Lover’ will be published in the next issue (‘Alchemies’) of CSHS. Yay! I’m currently applying for a PhD, and since my data consists of some medieval English alchemical texts, of course I had to…

Sunday recs: inkscrawl
inkscrawl is a delightful online publication dedicated to minimalist speculative poetry. The poems in it never fail to delight, and since I loved the newest issue (#7), I wanted to give it a shout-out.

‘Helsinki Love Song’ online in Wild Violet
My poem ‘Helsinki Love Song’ is one of the featured works in Wild Violet’s Valentine’s Day week series. ‘Helsinki Love Song’ I don’t like Valentine’s Day much due to the focus on a very restricted type of love – Finland is better in that respect, because here it’s known as ystävänpäivä, ‘Friend Day’, and is…

Poetry publication: Two poems in Chantarelle’s Notebook
Issue #33 of Chantarelle’s Notebook is now up! It’s full of good stuff (I especially liked the poems by Azar Blanca and Mark Mitchell). The issue includes two of my poems, ‘Ninety-Eight’ and ‘City of Stones’. I wrote a little bit about the two poems in this post where I announced the publication. I’m especially…
