From my poem-a-day fundraiser for indie lit:

“i had an identity in the way a plastic gem does:
a self-in-quotes, a radiance in the sun…
an origami swan with charred edges.”

— SELF-PORTRAIT AS A PRESCHOOL ART PROJECT

I’m raising funds for Tupelo Press as part of this project.

I’m writing a poem every day this month to raise money for indie literary spaces.

Many small presses have lost funding in recent years. If we want independent literature to survive, community support matters.

Boy Apparition by mk zariel — Vinegar Press

There are two transmasculine genders: the butch anarchist, and the tiny atemporal gremlin who really needs a hug. In BOY APPARITION, mk zariel tackles both. This chapbook is full of love letters to the BashBack tendency, chronicles of insurgent trans boyhood and its ties to lesbian culture, unhinged

I just dropped a new story on my blog. It’s about a girl, a blade, and a love that refuses to die — even as everything burns around her.

I’d really appreciate any feedback or thoughts. Even a comment helps keep the fire going.

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads. I’m doing this from the heart.
