Reviewed @serxaphym.bsky.social's debut BATTALION SHAPED GIRL (Discount Guillotine) for @fullstopmag.bsky.social. These lambent, crystalline poems think and vision and language their way through Wittgenstein, state-sponsored violence, transness, and being.

I love trans poets and novelists. I love trans musicians. I love trans filmmakers. I love trans models and actors. I love trans painters and sculptors. I love trans programmers and engineers. I love trans art.

Trans people are under attack. I implore people to rally around us - fight against policies, protect those in your community, read/watch/listen to/support our art … do not be silent as they try to silence and erase us. The future is a creative act; we have to create it, together

swiping right on every profile of a man holding a fish … I want to meet the fish … I want to hear what it has to say .. what oblivions what bliss what crush and flash and flick and to disappear into water like an immediate friend

being a medium means becoming saturated with love for those who are no longer with us … when I speak I speak with a thousand tongues

in my recent re-fabulations of what criticism might be or become, I think it has to come come back into the fold of other genres of writing - to perhaps narrativize as fiction does, to estrange the world to bring us closer to it as poetry does, to help build out a future as prayer does …

today I felt the most beautiful I have in a year. I held an orchestra in my ear. My favorite ghost brought me both hammers and nails. I spent all day alone and kissed my own teeth. the lost dog paws at my door now saying have I found my way home have I found my way home have I found my way home
