Today is a much needed slow day. After spending much of the day yesterday out of the house and mentally screaming for both pleasant and unpleasant reasons, I’m watching Gossip Girl with Emerson and chilling out. I don’t know if anything else is going to happen yet today, but it’s very nice so far. -Allēna…

Some art and words for you in these trying times.

Per my last post, my chapbook Field Notes From a Colder Time has a companion playlist, as well. Listen here.

I am a bit nervous since, in the true spirit of the game, most of it spilled out of me in about a week, late at night when I couldn’t sleep.

Before I forget, my new chapbook comes with a companion playlist. Listen here:
