MONUMENTAL CIRCLE

Featured in Anaphora Poetry Zine

Liberation is a dream within reach through the compassionate actions of each of us. This poem was inspired by a conversation with a man who, in modern society would be dismissed as mentally unwell, is able to tap into a reality that most cannot fathom. Forms of oppression will appear in cycles if we don’t heed the learnings of history. All beings, especially those who have been commodified or vilified, will be free.

My newest poem, MONUMENTAL CIRCLE, is featured in Gluestick Zine Collective‘s poetry zine Anaphora vol 3. Be sure to pick up a copy to help raise funds for the new railroad city bookmobile that will catalog self-published books, zines and comics!

Gluestick Zine Collective was the first community I reached out to when arriving in Indianapolis, and I feel so blessed to have been welcomed in their community, events and publications over the last couple years. 🩷💜🧡

And endless appreciation for my sweet bird kiddos, Rainford and Aspen, who showed up injured and bonded at the hip almost three years ago. So honored to witness them heal and grow. Pure chaos so thankfully, our two distinguished gentlemen adoptees, Opa and Whimsey, keep it low-key.
