It's July, So Let's

Let the grinning soles of our feet run feral.

July’s poem officially closes out my A Year in Poems series, so let’s (hehe) dilly dally here for a moment because wowowow, what a year it’s been. I started this series without knowing I was writing a year of my life— month by month, observation by observation, feeling by feeling. As the months stacked up, I quickly noticed the way these little poems became a kind of map: of presence, of change, of what it means to return to myself, again and again. I hope these poems met you somewhere true. I hope they made your world feel a little more alive. I know they did for me. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning, or you’re just discovering this series today, thank you for loving these poems as much as I do. It’s not hyperbole to say this series has changed my life.

The “A Year in Poems” print set is now available for preorder on my website! I can’t wait for you to enjoy all 12 monthly poems together in this beautiful, special edition design. (+ an exclusive sticker and a heavy-duty clip for display!)
