holy shit y'all so I got accepted into a poetry anthology of emerging canadian writers (fuck canada tho) and my copies finally came in the mail today along with a $150 cheque and I am just!!!! AAAAHHHHHH!!!! I'm honestly so happy rn I literally was beginning to wonder if the anthology was even gonna happen but it's actually so legit like the head of the toronto international festival of authors was one of the curators????? and it's actually a fairly major canadian publishing company???????! and I got fuckin paid bitch!!!! I feel very affirmed in my ability as a writer rn which is also making me want to write more!! this has actually been a pretty good year for me in terms of poetry: I had that gig a few months back that paid $250 for a 20 minute set, dionne brand likes my work, and I'm about to be moving into the thesis portion of my mfa! shit is fuckin happening!!!
