Updates (links and things inside)

Hola ! It’s been a minute since I’ve updated this – surprise to no one including the blog- but I wanted to update on some things to come. And wish everyone a happy national poetry month!

I have a few new articles/ sites up around the web 🙂

I’m going to update links and sites as events solidify! It’s been a very exciting grant year so far and I’m trying not to take a second for granted.

Happy new year!

Lunchbreak post for some very exciting news! I’m a 2018 emerging artist with DDA this year 😄 I was surprised, shocked, honored and mostly beyond grateful. I’m looking forward to expanding my craft and providing the world with as much poetry as it can stomach. Here we go!
