I have three poems in Allium’s first publication, but it was only printed physically and has no website archive of it—other than its table of contents here where my name and titles are listed.

Below are poems published with my dead name. Please be respectful and don’t use my dead name when addressing me or talking about me.

I’m including these poems below because these were some of my first publications (my baby poems), and while they are not my best writing, they show my growth as a writer and in my personhood. Please be gentle with the poems I wrote as a teenager and as a young adult.

when collin chanted “build the wall” in Columbia Poetry Review No. 32, pg 131 (listed under my dead name)
