An excerpt of the poem "Dawn Witching with Crows" by Devin Miller, slated for Haven Spec Magazine, Issue 19, March 2025. The text reads:
Softly lift the tools of your secret witching.
Make no noise your mothers will hear, no telltale
scrape of knife on stone; keep your setup silent.
Answer no questions.
The background is the issue's cover art, titled Daydreamer, by Abi Stevens Art.

Hi friends, I have a poem out in Haven Spec! Did you know there is a poetry form called a sapphic? (I got very excited about writing sapphic sapphics when I learned this.) This poem is a sapphic about witchy crows (also pretty sapphic subject matter tbh).

on a blurred background lies a text box with an image of a hand rising from thick water under a starry sky. there is a quote, it reads: "what slid from my body into lake-water / and was drowned by wonder? / the trick of the necromancer's womb / is to grow things both living and dead" this quote comes from "the trick of the necromancer's womb" by Deving Miller, appearing in Issue 4 of Baubles From Bones.
โจPoetry spotlight!โจ
Life and death, embraced in the unknown lakeside, love what comes from it regardless
You can read "the trick of the necromancer's womb" by @devzmiller.bsky.social coming soon in Baubles From Bones Issue 4!

Dialogue. I was real good at making my fanfic dialogue sound like something you'd really hear in that TV character's voice and now I'm just generally good at making my characters talk like people.

A grey cat is curled up on a giant pile of pillows and a duvet on top of a chair. She is staring at the camera. The whole thing has Princess and the Pea vibes.
Your night would probably be improved by looking at my cat be a princess, wouldn't it

I'd be delighted if you read any of these, to nominate them for awards or not. It's such a joy when my strange ideas and stubbornly hopeful characters get to build a connection between me and the world.
