Two Poems in Thimbletter

Since people were responding to my poem “Don’t Repeat This” in the latest issue of Thimble, the editors asked if they could publish more of my work in their newsletter. Here are “Jesus Was Not a Monkey” and “No One Beats Jesus at Chess” from Thimbletter No. 8, February 2020.

I’m so happy for these poems to be published alongside work by Shawnte Orion, who is awesome and also went to my high school. You can subscribe to Thimble’s newsletter yourself at this link.
