"mother, say sycamore, foxglove, princess, a purple candelabra in springtime we keep circling back to these scenes of our loss" Read @dehm000.bsky.social's beautiful poem, "baby blues," in our Sept/Oct issue:

Why do we want what we want? Is it important that what we want be good for us? And why does what we want turn out in the end to be Bobby McGee? Danielle McMahon explores these questions via “Me and Bobby McGee” by Janis Joplin. @dehm000.bsky.social www.major7mag.com/post/me-and-...

i like it best when i don't really know what i'm writing and it just kinda makes itself

Thank you @trashcatlit.bsky.social for taking my perimenopausal plaint. And thank you @summermoth.bsky.social for helping me with the title for this piece! 🧡🧡🧡 “The Lulu Lemon women talk of Romeo and Juliet between sets of bicep curls because Lovefool comes on…” trashcatlit.com/maybe-there-...

I've got a nomination for BOTN for my frankenpoem from @genrepunkmag.bsky.social ! Thanks Audrey! genrepunkmag.wordpress.com/2025/12/31/t... This was a mashup b/t a book on psychology and a book on carving/serving meats, both from the 1800s.

Summer rain storms, radios and windows rolled down. Waiting for the response after a message is sent late into the night. IRL by @dehm000.bsky.social is brilliant and I cannot recommend it enough. Seriously, go read some sample poems! www.stanchionzine.com/product-page...

maybe read some sample poems from my love letter to summertime?
