“I miss that valley heat, the scent of manure and semi-truck diesel, of chlorine and my mother’s pool-wet cheek.”
From “Memento Vivere,” a poem, by Carson Sandell (@csandell.bsky.social).

Transmasc Marvel Girl, the follow-up to my chapbook, Heaven, Ekphrasis, is coming out with @kithbooks.bsky.social this spring!! It's like a sequel that's even more more mad, horny, embodied, speculative, poltical, heartbreaking, and transgender! 🎞️🩸👩🍼🏳️⚧️🧟👽⛈️👬👭👅🍑💦 #poetry #queer #sci-fi #literature
I just know transphobic Superman would use his x-ray vision for unseen and unrivaled levels of osteology
Transitioning is the real life embodiment of an ouroboros
The sun and moon are polyamorous and I oh so desperately need to be their third
This might go in my manuscript, it might not, either way it was a fun excercise.
I haven't posted on here in a long time, here is a draft of my late mother's Facebook timeline channeled through a cento. I hope you like it!
Thеy say she looks just like her momma bеfore the drugs /
She just laughs and says, "I know" (I know), "She really taught me well
She's no good at raising children, but she's good at raising Hell"

That sounds so exciting! I'm so happy we are in a similar space!
I feel like my first poetry collection is coming together

Black Aperture changed my life
Wrote a short poem, I don't know if it's anything.
My ferritin levels went up, this could be caused by a lot of things and all of them are scary. I’m freaked out
I got blood done work done this morning because my ferritin levels were abnormally high. I hope the results come back normal because the causes of high ferritin levels are terrifying.
Working on a craft essay about how lack of punctuation in poetry can be a transpoetic technique
Just remembered my mother was bisexual. I'm never going to shut up about this.
I’ve got a lot of rejections on my work this week so I’m feeling very very down about my writing

This is a Marie Howe fan page forever and always
The ugly stepsister is such a good movie omg
I get my hypochondria from my mother, I wish I wasn’t so paranoid about getting sick
I got bit by a spider and had some side effects. I went to the ER and they said everything was fine. That goes hundreds of dollars down the drain that I don’t have. Why am I like this😭
I miss my mom so much
the trend of ‘explain this to me like I’m five’ is a direct consequence of defunding education. functional illiteracy is a national crisis, one that this administration relies on to maintain power
I hope we fumigate this house because we’ve been dealing with bugs for so damn long
