I have a new chapbook out today with
@BottlecapPress
!! It took me a few years to write LOVE POEMS but I’m really proud of this collection and hope you’ll read it and enjoy it!
You can purchase a copy here:
We’ve lost far too many writers/friends this year. This is why I started Ghost City. This is why I publish the poems my friends write. This is one way I have of showing them how much I love them. Will and Kristie, I love you and miss you.
I didn’t think it was possible, but
@sarahkendzior
has actually made me interested in economics! This book is FANTASTIC and perfectly sums up what the future of this country needs to look like 🙏🏼
I’m not feeling suicidal or anything but oh boy I am just so fucking tired of existing right now. I need a month-long nap I think. Need to avoid all boys and just be alone. Idk. I hate this.
I am very excited to officially announce that my nonfiction manuscript has been picked up by by Another New Calligraphy (
@ANCalligraphy
) for publication sometime next year!!
I’m so excited to announce that my new book FOREVER IN TRANSITION will be coming out with
@ANCalligraphy
on Oct. 22nd!! Thank you so much to Bill Ripley for this incredible cover art 💙
I just wanna say, I think there should be MORE sex in movies. Especially gay sex. And middle-aged women. Some of y'all are scary with your puritanical values. Like get the fuck out of here with that, nobody like you, that's why you're not getting laid loser!!
Honestly ready to give up Ghost City. Can people stop being shitty for two fucking seconds?? I worry about running this Summer Series every year because something always comes up with somebody being cancelled and it’s just more work than it’s worth. I’m just so tired of this shit
So I wrote a poem for a boy I have a crush on, and then Morgan Parker read it and it was longlisted for the
@peachmgzn
Gold prize, and now you can read it. Happy PRIDE y’all!! 🏳️🌈
27 now and I’m realizing I still have no idea what I want to do with my life besides write and make/consume art. I want to read all the books and watch all the movies and visit all the museums…
I suppose a more appropriate question is actually how will I make money. Ugh.
Friends! The new issue is here and I’m so proud of how well it turned out! Only $3.00 per copy (includes shipping)! Buy one for yourself, buy copies for your friends!
Honestly been writing some really awesome poems these past couple weeks, and let me tell ya, if these ever get placed in journals, it’s over for y’all!!
This is a project that I’ve been trying to start for a couple years now. I wanted to create a print anthology, but this will be more inclusive and accessible. I can’t wait to see what y’all submit!! 🏳️🌈
We are so excited to announce the launch of our new project, MY LOVES: A DIGITAL ANTHOLOGY OF QUEER LOVE POEMS. The submission guidelines are now up on our website. Open to all LGBTQ+ identifying writers!! Official launch date TBD.
I’ve decided to start a new film blog for the pandemic, primarily with the goal of sharing movie recommendations! Every contributor will be selecting 10 movies they think are underrated or under-seen and some will be making themed lists! Hmu if you’re interested in contributing!
Very excited to have six of my poems included in this anthology alongside
@dogwithoutlegs
@deafwoof
@carriganak
and so many others! I’ll share some of the poems on here soon
Got my contributor copies of the Oh Yeah Bear poetry anthology from Bearskin Lodge Press. This cover definitely makes me want to read these poems from queer poets who identify as Bears.
I’m so excited to be starting this new journal, the first issue features work by friends and people I’ve admired for a long time. Can’t wait to share it with everybody!! If you’re interested, give us a follow 📬🏳️🌈
I really want to put together an anthology of contemporary LGBTQ+ poets, but I’m not sure how to go about it... feels like too much politics involved and people would end up mad. Am I overthinking this? Anybody want to co-edit with me?
I’m looking for book recommendations about nature writing. Just starting to build a creative writing course for this summer, so anything is helpful at this point!! 🌿🌾🌱
This means so much to me, but I’m not the only one who needs to be thanked. I hope everybody understands how much time and effort it takes to run something like Ghost City, or Peach Mag, or even Rhythm & Bones. We all need to be a little kinder to one another.
love and support to
@KevinBertolero

At long last! I have finally acquired and digitized Adrian Stanford’s chapbook BLACK AND QUEER, published by Good Gay Poets Press in 1977. Took me a long time to track this one down, but this finally completes the GGP catalog! All of them are free to download at the link below!!
Have written 29 pages of new poems this month, and this is far more than I’ve ever written in this short a period... kinda scared I’m gonna be drained soon and not write another poem for like a year.
