starting to write again! this piece was adapted from a zine i made for the Ghibli Zine Fest hosted last weekend by @minizakis , @blancisthecreative , and @place.lb … 🔗 u know where, or at readfilterfeeder.com
I'm delighted that three poems I wrote were selected by @seastarya for the first issue of her zine from Filter Feeder Press! Available now as a download and for pre-order in print! The first poem in this post is the full poem, the following 2 are snippets. Go read the full zine to appreciate all the voices, visual art, and Arya's gorgeous reflections and illustrations.

Friends! I have some exciting changes coming to Filter Feeder in 2025.
I started this newsletter with the intention of exploring ways to connect more deeply with my own local nature and community. Now, Filter Feeder is opening up for anyone to submit stories of their own experiences doing that.
In other words, if you’re a writer/artist/creative/scientist/nature-enthusiast/some combination or in-between of all of those, please reach out! (And to friends who responded to that story poll I put up a little while ago, I’ll be reaching out directly soon if I haven’t already 🙂)
Link in bio to join what I’m currently referring to as the Filter Feeder Contributor Network, aka the list of people I’ll email when I actually open up the call for submissions. More 2 come 🐋
