Graphic displaying quote from Elegy for My Immune System by Sara Beth Brooks. Text reads "I give up on good vitals. / Divest from the praise assigned / to a clean bill of health / that can never be mine. / Abandon the stubborn myth / that well-being walks hand-in-hand / with worth."

I wrote Elegy for My Immune System after an auto-immune diagnosis that rocked my world. It's my favorite thing I wrote in 2023. #WritingCommunity #ArtSky

I'm trying to crowdsource an open-source list of journals/lit mags/anthologies/etc that are disability focused or themed, or have a focus on the wild comportments of these human forms. Got one to add? Let me know.

there’s a fine line between wanting the world to know so that it becomes real for you and understanding that the world doesn’t need to know because it doesn’t require validation

"Malpractice" | abilitymaine HOME

My poem Malpractice is out today in Breath and Shadow!

"My father performs open heart surgery on me
without any medical training. Cracks the sternum

with the busted edge of a tequila bottle. No anesthetic
– just the promise that he's doing this out of love."
