Happy Birthday To PLAYING ONE ON TV

Today marks the official release of my new chapbook, PLAYING ONE ON TV!

I had a lot of fun writing these poems, during a NaPoWriMo 30/30, several years ago. Stuck with no inspiration, I decided to write poems to/about various female TV characters I'd grown up watching. When I pulled them back out in 2016, I saw so many similar themes running through them - girlhood, feminism, the whiteness of pop culture, womanhood - that turning them into a book seemed like a natural next step.

Whether you're a fan of Doug, Saved By the Bell, Dawson's Creek, Friends, or non-nineties shows like Gilmore Girls and Archer, I think there's something for everyone packed into this book. I extend endless gratitude to Margaret Bashaar and Sarah Reck for turning my work into such a rad-looking book. Hyacinth Girl Press has been taking all my money for years now, and I'm so proud to now have a book in their catalog.

Poem In BOAAT Journal

There's really no other way to say it, it is a real dream come true for me to have a poem in the new issue of BOAAT Journal, a mag I've been reading since its inception. You can now read "In the Aftermath of A Natural Disaster" in the March/April issue, and check out the other fabulous work there, too. Huge thanks to sam sax, Sean Shearer, and the whole BOAAT staff for the awesome work they do.

Cover Reveal: PLAYING ONE ON TV

I'm starting 2018 with some fun news about my upcoming feminist, pop culture chapbook, PLAYING ONE ON TV. It now has a cover, designed by the very talented Sarah Reck!

I'll likely have updates in the next several weeks about the release date and how to purchase the book. :)
