Here’s my prose poem β€œThe Alien” honestly don’t remember which book or manuscript it is in. However, it was published in the @raleighreview.bsky.social that much is certain.

Color photo of a man with brown hair and tan or brown skin, leaning against a very cool huge teal car. In his hands he’s holding a tiny white and ginger kitten that seems like it might be wearing a collar and leash but it’s difficult to tell for sure. Palm trees rise up in the background.

All the coolest dudes love kittens. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

I hope you’ll join us in this ODE workshop! We will take a look at odes of gratitude. Odes of celebration. Odes to political activism. Odes to the mundane a la Neruda’s elemental odes. One more week to sign up! This class will take place next Sunday, August 3….11 AM to 1 PM Pacific time.

a scene from the Ghibli movie "nausicaΓ€ of the valley of the wind." a character is sitting at a desk with her head down, in a room filled with various colourful flora all lit up and giving off a calming glowing effect in a moment of solitude.
