A few days ago, I got a wonderful email that read, in part: I teach poetry and have a few baby genderqueers listening. I am at a loss when it comes to really teaching them how to express themselves. I was wondering if you had thought about ways to pass on your writing methods, because [...]

Very late tonight I will be making my adult debut at SEAF, where I will be reading some of my poetry. I’m really excited, especially because three of my pieces were accepted into the show, and they’ll be included in an anthology as well. Yes, I’ve had my work displayed before – when I was [...]

About a month ago I found out that 3 of my poems had been selected to be shown at the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival, and I was really thrilled. Kyle loved the festival when he’s gone, and I was excited to be a part of something really wonderful – an entire festival devoted to the [...]
It is simply this – my hands want to be on her pale, perfect skin, my lips on hers, my body resting against that soft love that breathes my passion into fire when we’re together. She whispers and I hear, and we burrow into blankets to swear our vows. We were made to find each [...]

We eat fire for breakfast when we’re tucked together like sex toys in the drawer, buzzing and knocking until the batteries fall out, just to shove them back in. We kiss like it’s a feast and hold hands like it’s free, but it’s everything I need just to see your eyes seeing mine, our lips [...]

Awhile back, Sinclair Sexsmith announced at Sugarbutch Chronicles that she was starting a new project to promote a greater understanding of masculine of center gender identities, expressions, and presentations, through encouraging: 1. visibility, because we feel alone; 2. solidarity, because there are many of us out there, but we don’t always communicate with each other; [...]
Write Me a Creepy Love Poem

My heart wants to build a tree house Outside your window So we would always be close enough for a tickle fight . My eyes want to live on the other side Of your glasses So they could gaze back at those deep green seas all day long . My ears would wait forever on [...]
Lonely Stones

It’s not goodbye, This was something worse Brown and sticky like flypaper, dotted with footprints as the years passed, lying face down on the floor . She couldn’t stop talking, his eyes never left that screen. What compelled them to dance like this every night Every night Didn’t she remember skin? Didn’t he remember the [...]
She is a lover and teacher, that sexy, fierce, strong soccer coach from high school, and my first crush when I was 13, the one with that smile that strikes a fire in every atom of your being. She’s an athlete, a writer, a dyke butch standing against the wall with that lean that says, [...]
