I have a poem in West Trestle Review.
“What I might know if I let myself” is a golden shovel after a @pleomorphic2.bsky.social flash.
My poem is about queer identity, falling in love and finding yourself loved. I hope you’ll give it a read.

The image is the cover of a science fiction novelette. A barren dune-colored planet is at the forefront of the image to the left and is set against a pitch black sky with a blinding sun off in the right hand corner. The Title "A Way Back" sits above it and the author name "Salena Casha" is below.
My. Novelette. Is. Live. Which means I'm freaking out because people might read it and I might die of embarrassment but also, I'm freaking out because a person might actually read it. Huge thank you to @emergejournal.bsky.social for making my dreams come true. Order your copy here: a.co/d/0b5BfkX4.
So happy that a silly wee poem of mine is being published by the brilliant @coinoppress.bsky.social !
JAKE will be missed. Sending all the love & gratitude for what we’ve all gained through JAKE being part of this community 💕
