"You would call this foreshadowing but it’s already happening" Loved @pimpledrose's chapbook of perfectly poised prose poems from @thealienbuddha. Evocative, precise and full of a truth it wears lightly. Pick this one up if you get the chance!

Hey, peeps. Just click “BUY NOW.” Problem solved. 😋👇🏼
I'm mildly desperate for orders of Issue 19 of the magazine. I've lowered the price & made it available from wherever books are ordered to make it more accessible, but it's not working. @FBereaud curated a superb 5th anniversary issue. Please give it a try stanchionzine.com/product-page/s…
The latest Gargoyle Magazine (Issue #11) is packed with brilliant writing and I’m beyond thrilled to have five pieces in this issue! Read the whole gorgeous thing: gargoylemagazine.com/2025/07/online…
"I’ll burn this wicker chair, roast a marshmallow. Down the red wine and light a cigarette." So good. Great issue and great poem.
