I'm so thrilled to share the cover of the first akinoga press book for 2025, my new chapbook A Violet Stretch of Sky! Thank you so much to this wonderful press for the care with which they handled this collection.

Preorders are now available at a discount. :) A Violet Stretch of Sky will officially be released on Saturday, May 31st.

------------

A Violet Stretch of Sky is inspired by poet Meggie Royer’s fascination with folklore, mythology, and the experience of processing traumatic memories. In this collection, Royer imagines beloved artistic and literary figures such as Virginia Woolf and van Gogh in conversation with women of myth, examines the complex nature of relationships marred by love and violence, and attempts to reconcile her teenage self with her adult self.

I bathed in sunshine

until i was sticky with it

as if stardust were syrup

and i was famished for it

Mini-zine in the making! I am currently working on a small, passion-project photography and literary zine titled "Noontime Passenger." The first volume will encompass poetry in varying forms, short prose, words that weave profound emotions to the daily mundane, and so forth!

It'll be free to read through my linktree as it is meant to inspire and ponder. In the meantime– however– before it comes down to publishing, below is the cover to this beautiful, train-ride relaxing zine:

Keep your eyes peeled for the link, as well as updates on my debut poetry chapbook, "Where Oceans Meet."

Thank you to Bottlecap Press for featuring my work and for the beautiful cover!

This marks an important moment in my writing career, and a day I didn’t think would ever come. A huge shoutout to my friends, colleagues, and readers for their support. Here’s to more writing!

Reckless Chants #28.15: There Will Be Singing About The Dark Times. It’s a zine and a chapbook! There’s a companion EP coming out really soon from Hello America Stereo Cassette, and every one of my zine subscribers will receive a download code for said EP. Also Hello America is gonna do a giveaway thing where some people who buy the EP will get free copies of the chapbook. Also this is one of the few zines made for my subscribers that I am also going to sell independently of that. Stay tuned.

Eurydice's Tale is a retelling of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, from Eurydice's perspective. Eurydice stops Orpheus on his way to the River Lethe and asks him to hear her side of the story instead of abandoning his memories. With nods to the original mythology and a fresh perspective on love and grief, Eurydice's Tale is my favorite of all of my previous chapbooks.

The remastered version is downloadable and available in my Ko-fi shop here!

The 100% Good Ready-to-Use Tweego Folder!

The 100% Good Ready-to-Use Tweego Folder is both a coding guide for the Tweego compiler and an easy-install for the program. It is meant to complement the official Tweego documentation, and update the Tweego download folder (formats). The Guide is fairly short and goes over installation of Tweego in Windows and MacOS, the Twee Notation (a.k.a. Passage set-up), and use of Tweego in Windows and MacOS as well as with Twine 1 and Twine 2 formats.

While the Guide was compiled with SugarCube 2.37.3, and the Ready-to-Use Tweego Folder has a base project with SugarCube 2.37.3, Tweego can be used with any Twine 1 and Twine 2 formats. Annotations are also provided to change formats.

READ THE GUIDE & DOWNLOAD THE FOLDER

Note: setting up Tweego is different depending on your device. Check the Guide for full instructions before downloading the Folder (esp. for MacOS).

The Folder includes:

the Ready-to-Use Tweego Guide

Tweego, all official Twine 1 & 2 formats, and relevant scripts

a Base New Project with annotations

GITHUB REPO | RAISE AN ISSUE | TWINE RESOURCES TEMPLATES | SUGARCUBE GUIDE | CSCRIPT 2 SG GUIDE

In the haze of april

i am one with mist

succumbed to the Orange

of an orchard kissed

by the mother, the sun, the honeyed spirit

the bumblebee in ambled flight

with the world to inherit

Hey All! Some news and a cover reveal! Next month I will be releasing my first chapbook, Strange Religion, with Amused Moon Publishing! I wanted to share the cover before these poems grace the world. These poems explore my journey as a black queer person discovering my identity and struggling in my faith. I hope they resonate with at least one person! I will let you all know when it's official released!!!
