Lit. Update: Social Platforms and Poetry Announcement!
It’s happening!
I will cease to operate on My Poetic Side, as I no longer have time to manage that space. However, I do plan to stay on Medium for the foreseeable future. All other social media platforms remain in effect until further notice.
Now for the big announcement: my first poetry book will be available for purchase on Amazon starting Tuesday, December 21st! I will offer it in paperback format for $8.00 (USD). It does not contain any artwork at this time. The release just happens to coincide with the winter solstice, which was not originally my plan; but I’m glad it happened anyway! I think revealing a project full of positive light on the darkest, lowest point of the year is truly poetic.
I want to thank those of you who have remained with me throughout this phase of my journey. There’s still so much to come…

“The Challenging Reality: Vegan Leather”
Recently, I have been furthering my understanding of vegan and cruelty-free topics - specifically with regards to clothing, textiles, and manufacturing. As someone who never conformed to what most people saw as a normal diet and was considered by many to be vegetarian before it was "cool", I was thrilled to see the huge selection...

The 2021 Full Moon Eclipse- Beaver Moon
Important info on the rare moon this week.

For the first time in 600 years, we will experience an eclipse that is the strongest it’s ever been in the last six centuries. The beaver moon this year of 2021 is going to throw a lot of peoples physical energy and emotional energies into an imbalance.
