I've never written a sonnet before but my crush at AWP had me writing a quadruple one. This poem's really a love poem to poets and also to life-giving temporary crushes. Thank you @publishedbyjake.bsky.social for publishing this one! <3

Because time is ridiculous, somehow it's been exactly one year since this co-writing debut with @salenacasha.bsky.social (and we're still at it, thanks @icebreakerslit.bsky.social, you created a collaborative monster).

What a wonderful reminder from my co-writer, @leighloveday.bsky.social ! I can't believe it's only been a year. So grateful that @icebreakerslit.bsky.social brought us together!

Icebreakers wants your almost, maybes. your brushes with the otherworldly. your longings. send us your poetry, cnf, fiction, art, etc. that explores your interpretation of close encounters. aliens not required (though we do love them).

Received a few kind notes on “Recipe For Loving Yourself,” a collaboration w/ @poemsandcake.bsky.social & the poem I closed w/ when I read recently with Ellen in @karigunterseymour.bsky.social’s Spoken & Heard. Thought I’d revisit the poem on my socials. (Thank you, @icebreakerslit.bsky.social!)

Icebreakers Lit unicorn skull logo with rainbow main and horn on lavender background
A caucasian male-presenting person with a full grey beard and a long, curly red mullet wears a red, crew-neck sweatshirt and fills the left half of the frame. Filling the right frame, is a female-presenting, caucasian woman wearing her dark brown and gray hair in a bun, a light gray denim jacket with the collar popped. She leans in to the man and her right hand, nails painted red, lingers on his left shoulder. She wears red lipstick. They are both smiling.
Nothing sexier than a writing a story collab to sub to @icebreakerslit.bsky.social w your talented/hot boo @femmeintheory.bsky.social 🤞🔥
