poetry performance – Open Sorcery

I had a lovely poetry performance in the opensorceryy club with mk today!

I read for 45 minutes on accident, I feel like I performed for far too long. However, mk seems to have had no issue with it. Emerson also got video of much, if not all, of the set, so y’all can expect videos in the next few days. Now I’m just chilling and watching Charlotte…

Emerson and Ashley went to Honeybee Sage yesterday and Ashley read two poems.

They will roll out elsewhere on social media in early June, but I am going to share them here now. He kicked absolute ass, and tbh I think he’s a natural performer. I think he did better than me. -Allēna

Mk and I are going to be doing another joint reading!

This time it will be in my Discord server, the opensorceryy club. It’s on March 31 at 8PM and I hope I see y’all there 💛 mk will be reading selections from its recently published chapbook, Different With Him, and I will be reading some very queer pieces from my most recent zine, Fear Not…

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

My friend mk and I are doing a joint performance in December and we hope to see you there! Here’s the flyer: I’m so excited! -Allēna

This is a performance of an older poem called “the void falls for the hero in the end”.

This very Milwaukee themed piece originally appeared in our third poetry collection, singing molten gold to the morning. Here it is: -Allēna

Yesterday would have been the 7th anniversary of my first marriage and I hate this goddamned month. As such, this was my Poets’ Monday performance last night.

I did a truly badass thing tonight.

Enjoy. I feel like I finally did it justice. If you’re interested in reading more, “to dance with a cyclone” is the opening ringer of my 2019 poetry collection of the same name. -Allēna
