@buy_jupiter ahh, i know what you mean about that first pub getting you through! (i got ALOT of rejections for years too) and i'm so happy you kept and keep writing 💖😤(will def miss Tree and Stone but looking forward to your new pieces this year :) here's hoping there's even more for 25' 😊

@orbiting_angel The first and only time thus far I’ve been published was in Tree and Stone over two years ago. I’m thankful for that every day because I surely would have given up writing by now 😅 That’s so nice of you🥹, and yes it was a great magazine I read a lot of good stuff from them

My first poem of the year "Hermanas de Andrómeda" is free to read today!! :') It is dedicated to my friend Angela Acosta & the impact her chicanafuturism poetry has had on me. it is also about queer sisterhood & the safer futures we wish for each other thesprawlmag.ca/vol-2-2
