Ah yes, time to finally share with you all one of the reasons I’ve been so quiet on this blog! But first, some quick links.
Facebook Page
I’m on Facebook! Like my page there for book updates, sketches, and more blackout poetry (including extras from Forgive Us Our Trespasses).
Goodreads
Follow me on Goodreads and remember to leave a review. Ask me questions there about my writing!
Alright, now with that out of the way, time for The Big News™.
A picture says a thousand words, so…
I’m pleased to announce that my new poetry collection, Lest I Know Your Weakness, comes out on 2/12/19! You’ll be able to get an ebook or paperback from Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
A twisted love story told in alternating poetic snapshots.
Intrigue, tension, darkness, beauty–Carmilla and Laura experience it all as they traverse the ups and downs of their relationship through poetic dialogue. Love is alluring and terrifying.
Yes, I took the text of the Carmilla novella (published in 1872) and made a bunch of erasure poems. The result? An experience that made one beta reader want to cry in a good way and gave another the sensation of peering through a keyhole at two tumultuous yet beautiful lives.
No need to be a fan of the web series or have read the original book to enjoy my collection. Either or may give you some different context as you read the poems, but this stands as its own work.
I’ll also be guest starring on Friday, I’m in Love; Monday, I Post Podcasts later in February where I’ll talk more about my work, so stay tuned for that!
So, that’s all of my news! Thanks for sticking with me!
