The Georgia Straight named me their “Breakout Author” of 2024 💜 (more like Georgia Queer amirite??). The issue hits newsstands in Vancouver tomorrow

Effective July 1, I’ll be an Associate Professor, with tenure, at @ubccreativewriting . I love my job and feel a ton of gratitude for my colleagues (at UBC and elsewhere) as well as my family and friends. Can’t quite figure out how to articulate my emotions, funnily enough, but I will say that I feel very fortunate and a little weepy haha 💜

Do you like gay stuff?? My new book, COEXISTENCE, is officially out in CAN and the US 💪🏽

back on my book tour bs 2024 (links w/ info will be in my stories)

So pleased to publish a poem in the inaugural issue of @yarrowlitmag 🫡

A new poem from me commissioned by the Campbell River Writers’ Festival 🌊

Very grateful to be on the @dublinlitaward longlist with my novel A MINOR CHORUS. Shoutout to @opl_bpo & @winnipegpubliclibrary 💜

Thrilled to announce my third poetry collection, THE IDEA OF AN ENTIRE LIFE, which’ll be edited by the brilliant @canisia.lubrin over at M&S. I believe it’ll publish in 2025 📚✨
