"space cowboy on a little, uh, space exploration?" released with Bottlecap Press. this is a reimagining of my late teens/early 20s with frankensteined/updated poems from that time. reviews by Arthur DeHart and Saturn Browne of @beavermag.bsky.social bottlecap.press/products/space

space cowboy on a little, uh, space exploration? (title card)

"let's wrangle the moon?"

tides vomit all over me, giddy with lumps of sea
greasing the crease of my lips.

i lick the foam, a true cowboy's milk,
begging the moon to float a little closer.

can i get a yeehaw every time i take in water wrinkles,
or is it too cringy to chase weird objects

in the sky's reflection?

$This book is both a fever dream and a dreamy carousel. [space cowboy on a little, uh, space exploration?] champions that with its experimental fractals of space and time. - Arthur DeHart$

Through the dreamlike imagery, Blake is able to uncover a way to communicate to the reader queer love, life, and adolescent nostalgia. Any reader would be lucky to experience this book. - Saturn Browne

PSA for people: plurality isn't as rare as you might think. It's estimated there are more plural people in the world than there are redheads
