Coming Out

"...it was difficult to juggle...."

Coming Out

Coming out onto the porch
it was difficult to juggle
and as I poured the lemonade
it was hard to keep it from
coming out all at once.
But I think they knew that
we were lovers, anyway.

Happy Pride, everyone!

I hope you’re as excited as I am to celebrate LGBTQIA+ Pride together this June. The poem you just read above is from my upcoming chapbook, Chiaroscuro and the Art of AutoBIography and, in honor of Pride, I will be releasing several more poems from that chapbook over the course of this month.

Yes, you read that right - I can release poems from my chapbook for free online, prior to publishing. That’s the beauty of self-publishing and controlling my own copyrights.

Thank you all so much for your support and subscriptions - you’re making the self-publishing dream possible!
