Not everything you see is directed at you personally
I've published the audiobook of my chapbook Alef el-Tav! You can download it for free at https://shelraphen.com/alef-el-tav
If you're a patron, it will appear on your patron-exclusive Podcast feed!
I have a poem in the new issue of @paintbucketpage "Top Ten"! "Someday" is a poem about cooking and eating your landlord.
New poem on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/29436606
This poem is about imagining a world in the far off future when all the plastic has decomposed and we have to teach children how tf that happened.
We hit another milestone on Patreon!! Holy shit!! That means even more perks for patrons!! Once I get over this chest cold I'll start recording an audiobook of Jovian Flesh & Fauna and one recorded poem from that a month will be posted to Patreon! That's 2 new poems + a new recorded poem every month!! What a great time to become a patron at https://patreon.com/shelraphen

I'm really into this essay a comrade wrote about abolishing the family and gender simultaneously by expanding family and gender more and more until we are living under communism and the notions of family and gender become meaningless

NEW PATREON POST
"Behind the Scenes: Structuring (E)stranged Earth + Cover"
New patron-only poem is up! (With audio recording!)
"Emma" is about living a long time, seeing a lot, wondering, and knowing what you can and need to do. It is from the perspective an inspiring martyr

We stare so long at little glass boxes we see the world through glass boxes and perhaps we come to think the whole world is behind a pane of glass even as move through it the depth and air go unseen and so it feels immobilizing, or rather, mobility is never a consideration to start. The world happens, and you move outside of it. What can you do? Nothing, you feel it in the stillness of your muscles as you stare and watch the world.
But I'm here to tell you, you could punch your boss in the face
Hi!! I just posted audio recordings to Patron of every poem I've published to Patreon so far. Patrons can now use their podcast app to subscribe to a feed of my recorded poems!
