You’ll get 25% off my book if you pre-order today-Friday via Barnes & Noble. I’m really proud of IN THE RHODODENDRONS & I want to find its people. AND other beautiful books are coming out soon and you can use the same offer to pre-order them as well, so I wanted to share a couple recommendations.

seeing other poets write on the experience of having an eating disorder saddens me because i really wish eating disorders didn't exist at all, but they do & this writing is urgent. when i was unwell i needed this writing. ed support systems are disturbingly scarce. we need this poetry. lots of it.

a few songs i've been loving this month. forgetting loads because i'm always accidentally discovering all the best songs while driving! such a nuisance & shame but also cool? like maybe i'll hear an unidentified song in a bar in like ten years or something & i'll do something lovely like cry.

Put the dead into your poems without garbing them in your grief. Give them cake, put on their favorite music. Listen to their gossip. Let them tell you how they've learned to bake bread. To carve clarinet reeds. Let them comb your hair. Help them remember the color orange. The scratch of wool.

when you have an ed it can be SO hard to find reasons to recover. i said maybe to help someone someday. i said maybe to write a book. next year my book will be out & i might have a job as an eating disorder recovery coach. recovery is the toughest thing ever but i promise it makes life SO beautiful.
