#introduction ~

I'm a #writer #editor and #academic. my #poetry navigates the natural world, womanhood, faith, migration & ancestry.

I love #photography, #hiking, laughing with friends, the #sea, & being outdoors. 🌱

originally from the prairies of #canada, I'm now based in #edinburgh #scotland.

my #postdoc #research is on environmental writing by #poc. I currently teach creative writing at #cambridge & I adore my students.

Another Way to Split Water is my debut poetry collection. 🌊

"What if I gave myself over to time’s dispersion? Could I value the fractured moments as something more than “sub-time” or lost time or broken time?”

— Kyo Maclear

sneaking back on here because idk what else is safe anymore

Ok here's the thing: I keep meaning to send a newsletter letting people know about $2 ebooks. But then I don't send it and feel bad about not letting newsletter folks know. So yeah, our 2022 ebooks are still $2.

Hi everyone! I’m new to this space and this is my #introduction post.

I’m an author, editor, and creative writing teacher and you can find my stuff at https://linktr.ee/odelapaz.

I primarily write #poetry and #poems with an occasional #essay or #CreativeNonfiction piece.

It took a while for these to make it to the UK, but they’re here! My first glimpse at the beautiful design work by YesYes Books on the US edition of Another Way to Split Water!

I didn’t get to celebrate my launch day or see my books until now, but my friends and family made it feel special with these gifts 🫶🏽

I’m lucky to not only have two editions of my debut collection, but for both of them to be stunning in design. Look at this cover! Swoon!

When I started as an #Academic there was a kind of social contract that we wouldn't earn vast salaries, but we had a solid, index-linked, final salary pension scheme to compensate. Now we still expect young researchers to be badly paid AND the #USS pension scheme has been torn up, with higher contributions, lower benefits and baffling complexity. Back to the barricades. #UCURising #UCUStrike
