Now that the news has officially been announced, I can tell you: my next collection of poetry, Her Dark Everything, will be published April 2025 with Riot in Your Throat. Her Dark Everything grapples with the loss of a friend to suicide and the continued survival of my best friend, despite her battles with major depression. It’s about hope and joy and sorrow and loss and survival. The Riot in Your Throat 2024-2025 lineup is fantastic, every single one of these books is amazing and I promise, you’re going to want to read them!
In other news, I survived AWP and showed some real restraint by only bringing home ten books. Seriously, this is impressive since I essentially have an unlimited budget for books — life is too short to not buy poetry!!
I’m also working on a new, secret poetry project that I hope to kick off and reveal within the next few months. Right now I’m doing research, putting in the work, and manifesting my future…while eating a giant chocolate chip cookie.
I’ll also put the finishing touches on my forthcoming collection to see what it looks like. I think it’s almost there but I may still need a few poems. The next few months will be busy but poetry-related projects are my favorite so I’m looking forward to it!
