This came completely out of the blue. Moko Magazine wants to publish one poem from a bundle I had sent one year ago! I'm currently studying @ McGill, and yet, the acceptances keep coming through 🌟🫶🔥
My thanks to Andre Bagoo!

Great to know. I'm finding myself in my 30s gravitating towards philosophy and science literature in a way I haven't when I was younger. Currently taking a History and Philosophy of Science Course @ McGill

It's publication day at Heavy Feather Review, featuring an elegy in prose dedicated to my brother❤️🙏. A piece a long time coming. It was hard to write, let me just say. Thank you Jason Teal for the chance to share my story
