My cake is blurry. The sun
fills the room. The room crumbled.
There is no cake in the evening
after the long day. My body
pedals faster. The day is further
away. It’s two in the afternoon.
I don’t know why I’m crying.
You are not coming home.

Promo graphic: An ultrasound showing a yellow book, CHILDLESS MILLENNIAL, by Chiara Di Lello from Game Over Books. Expected Jan 2026

Childless Millennial is a rallying cry for a label reclaimed with pride. This book is a blueprint-by-amalgamation for what a fulfilling non-reproducing life can be. Drawing inspiration from as disparate sources as her own non-biological mother figures, the act of nurturing of other people's children, and the natural world, Chiara Di Lello's chapbook cuts against the expectation of compulsory motherhood. Through a multi-generational dive into her own Ukrainian immigrant family, she wrestles with the choice to be child-free and its thorny entanglements with gender and culture. Childless Millennial rejects expectations and forges its own answers to what makes a meaningful life.

Humans! Pre-orders are open for my chapbook, CHILDLESS MILLENNIAL. Read more about it and grab your copy here:
