Nope, I don’t want to go back in
Yesterday I realized I first came out of the closet 20 years ago. Actually, I came out of two of them. I was 14 and starting high school. I’d just made a friend based on the giant pentacle necklace she’d been wearing, and our joking about coming out of various closets led me to going…

Life in a Pandemic
It’s all horrendously normal, in some respects. We’re far from the epicentres of Europe or even the U.S. up here in Powell River. While the virus has hit British Columbia, it doesn’t seem to have reached us on the Sunshine Coast yet. That will change soon. Already we have a case on the Island. It…

PerPoWriMo
PerPoWriMo. The various wrimos are getting a little ridiculous, which means I must join in. How did it become March already? Something something, time moves in mysterious ways, something something. Mom and I are doing PerPoWriMo this month. WTF is PerPoWriMo, you ask? Personal Poetry Writing Month. Not personal poetry, just our own personal poetry…

Radical Blogging
I have been blogging since 2004. I had just moved into the dorms with my best friend Makana, and she convinced me to join her on Blogdrive. My early blog posts were raw and unfiltered; deep dives into my psyche or incoherent rambling. The titles of the posts were song titles, usually whatever I was…

Here I sit, with a wolf at my feet…
…winds at my back, and chocolate in my stomach. Probably a lot more poetic in my head than on paper. Even digital paper. It’s the end of 2019. The end of a year, the end of a decade. Tomorrow we — I — start the march into 2020, the best year yet — or so…

Rewolfing the Soul paperback now available for preorder!
Yes, that’s right! Rewolfing the Soul is now available for preorder! I am SO EXCITED to release this book. I think the poetry in it is some of my best work. And I know, I haven’t been sharing as much as I’d like to Instagram and certainly not to here on this blog, but I…

2019 Micropoems, January through March
I’ve been posting micropoems on Instagram, Ello, Patreon and Pinterest this year. I did have a thing set up where they would instantly cross-post here, too, but it broke a lot of the time and just didn’t work the way I wanted. So I figured I’d gather up the posts from the last 3 months…
