This is actually a poem which I wrote for the FOURALL Magazine Spring Internship Program as a Creative Writing Intern, and it was featured in FOURALL Magazine’s sixth issue. I’m pretty proud of it, so I thought I’d post it here too. The poem focuses on memories and draws off of some of my fondest memories with old friends. I hope you enjoy it!
Away, On The Chill Of The Wind
Before we completely leave winter, I thought I’d write a little flash fiction piece inspired by it. If you’re looking for a quick read which blends relationships and the cold together, you’re in the right place. It’s not exactly happy, but I thought that it was almost morbidly beautiful while writing it. Hope you enjoy–or perhaps ‘enjoy’ is the wrong word. Either way, here it is!
A Childhood
This is a poem which I wrote during FOURALL Magazine’s fall internship program. I wanted to explore ideas of childhood and very specific elements of it, while acknowledging that these concrete details aren’t universal. I hope you enjoy reading A Childhood!
Sweet Dream, Bitter Reality Excerpt
Looking forward to the release of my next novella, Sweet Dream, Bitter Reality? If you’re curious about the book, why not have a little taste right now? This is the prologue to Sweet Dream, Bitter Reality–or ‘Chapter 0’, as I’m calling it. I hope you enjoy this little introduction to my next novella!
Grey Eyes
Time for a break from the short stories! Get ready for an emotional little poem I wrote called ‘Grey Eyes’, where I experimented with the formatting a little through indenting (completely inspired by my recent studies of Christina Rosetti in college, by the way) and really focused on the placement of the words within the poem. I hope you enjoy it!
