Poets and poetry lovers, please save the date for the online book launch of @gendeguzman.bsky.social’s Karaoke at the End of the World — coming soon from @jacklegpress.bsky.social! 🧨❤️

Before starting this magazine, I had never been professionally paid for writing, had never worked with an editor, and didn't have any friends who were writers. It's not too late when you can begin at any point, I promise. And I mean that on so many levels.

NEW POEMS BY ME!!!!

big thanks to @bulbregion.bsky.social for including this batch and another to come soon

Already ready for A Very Gay Literary Happy Hour in Chicago. Thinking that Thursday of AWP, 5-7 as always, location TBD. Let’s go!

I somehow lost two press-on nails in the course of this reading. Intensity level 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️!

It was a very gay literary happy hour at Vinyl + Pages last night. My thanks to @jacklegpress.bsky.social and to all the poets who showed up in support of poetry and community! 💜

See all you cool people tonight! 💜

First coffee and then socializing. Hope to see many AWP attendees this afternoon. ❤️

I asked AI to write a poem in my style, and it has a lot of learning left to do.

A poem from the collection for your Monday. 💕

Happy 3rd Birthday to my second book baby, Poems for the People (SCE Press)! With endless gratitude to my publisher for believing in me. 💕 a.co/d/0fL7uthP

Cover for Karaoke at the End of the World, a debut poetry collection by Genevieve DeGuzman, out from JackLeg Press in March 2026. Cover is an illustration of a lit stick of dynamite and rays of light emanating around it with frenetic energy. Pink and orange and beige yellow.

BOOM. ⚡️🧨 Consider a pre-order! My debut collection explores grief for our mothers and ourselves.💥The vibe: end times in the multiverse, tender apocalypses, music, the extinct, ancient, alien, and animal. A bit speculative, a bit strange. Links in bio & here genevievedeguzman.carbonmade.com/karaoke

Obsessed with these vintage Versace ads.

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💘

I wrote a new poem for my mom. ❤️
