Other Fun Things
During June 2024, my poetry was displayed at Happy Magpie Book & Quill, a queer-owned bookshop in Ogden, Utah. There's nothing better than a poetry event during Pride Month!
In April 2024, my poem "On Wednesday You Led Me" was featured on the educational podcast Critical Mass. This particular episode explores the benefits of funding the humanities in higher education spaces. Listen to it here. I was especially excited to learn that the episode is titled "An Overthought Narrative" which a phrase taken from my poem!
In 2023, my poem "Poem Collaged Together From Real Conversations Had While On Dates With Girls From BYU" was printed on flyers and put in Prodigal Press newsstands around Provo, Utah. Shoutout to the Prodigal Press graphic designers for designing the flyers. My poetry has never looked cooler!
