Twitterpations

Passion | Obsession | Ecstasy | Madness | Saudade

Twitterpations started as a collection of poems culled from my ramblings on X/Twitter. Eventually, it expanded to include poems from my journals and former blogs in which I’ve chronicled my loves and longings, my grief and rage, my loneliness and anxiety, and all my different strains of madness for most of the past decade.

Reading them again to select the 40 I include in this collection brought me face-to-face with the memories of situations and people who cracked me open, broke me in half, shattered me to bits. And so with this collection, I offer a vessel remade, fissures filled with light captured at the golden hours of sunrise and sunset, rough edges smoothed with hands warmed by the fierce love I have found over and over, in and for myself, for and from others.
