New Con-Verse over at the @seattlein2025.org Blog! In our latest poetry breakdown piece, I talk about what I often scandalously refer to as 'a metaphor in a heightened state of arousal'--i.e. what I think 'The Second Coming' has in common with some of my favourite contemporary speculative poems!

I'd love to just be in the running for this - perhaps with my Pushcart-nominated 'WAIYAT' (published Eye To The Telescope 54) - so if you're an #SFPA @sfpoetry.bsky.social member, please do consider giving me a nomination! #SFFpoetry #poetrysky #poetry #books #booksky #poetrycommunity #specpo
