Spells

“The earth’s deepest and most primal incantation.”

Current Feelings (But Also Actually Past Feelings)

“It’s rare that I feel dreadful while I’m having my tea and scrawling pages into my journal outside in the sun first thing in the morning, so whatever’s coming for me today will, at the very least, abate for a half hour tomorrow. This helps to remember.”

Five Rhymes

“Not every experience needs to be put in the basket of ‘turn this into a beautiful piece of writing for the people’, but everything goes in the basket of – perhaps there is more to this than meets the eye.”

To Show For

“How do we celebrate when there is nothing to show for?”

Poetry for Everyone

“What ends up on the page is the least important part of the process.”

Interior Design

“And together we remember everything.”

The Legend of Curly’s Newsletter

When I don’t write in a particular channel for a long time, my anxiety about saying something worthwhile gets amplified. This is extra true with the newsletter, which feels like a sacred space because I’m barging directly into people’s inboxes rather than waving to them across the crowded halls of social media (or muttering to myself in the whispering gallery of my own website).
