Excerpt of unedited published poem wheat fields After the smoke clearsโ& liberation has cost us too much we gather the seeds they wanted to extinguish out of us & begin to rebuild they tried to disintegrate our dreams uproot us from our motherlands on occasion they succeeded but even when the moon is eclipsed it shows itself again & so we rise
Unedited draft of published poem When the hegemonies fall There will be a collective deep sigh We will rejoice but first First we will dream, for once knowing it can be reality. we will weep for all the weeping taken from us during survival We will hold hands and commune ve will hug, we will build altars where in this lifetime everyone comes back this time we know everyone was simply waiting for home to belong to US. And not those who wish to pillage and overtake it
Unedited draft of published poem The silence never came all the clocks continued ticking the alarmsโan echo of the past sun & sand | our becoming The valuation of it time ended. The silence never came all the clocks continued ticking the alarmsโan echo of the past sun & sand | our becoming The valuation of it time ended. What is time when you can tap into plezi with no one but each other to call we arrived too used to the mindless routi No delegation, no SUPERIOR, the lights all through the corner offices. Silence, no. The buzzing of the bustle no looking at one another too afraid to speak what everyone wonders inside
Amorphaville โover 20+ authorsโ writings explore our collective relationship to the fluidity of timeโboth in how it has been historically used as a weapon of oppression, and how we might start to reimagine it as a tool for liberation. I have 3 deeply loved poems.

A graphic with the cover of the romantasy novella To Catch A Hunter. A teal fantasy sword sits on a wine colored background with the title and the author's name, S. A. Macklin, in gold on top. Text at the side says coming Feb. 11th, never hunt alone, and on kobo.com
This is my first self published work so if you buy this novella, you'll directly support a Black indie author. (And if there's enough demand, I might be able to get paperbacks made.) Preorder here:

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.
