"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

cover for “yes, it’s 2023 and i still burn CDs for you” by yara wyatt blake

wyatt's "yes, it's 2023 and i still burn CDs for you" is a clever exploration of sexuality and toxic relationships through cento poems made from music of the new millennium. By collaging lyrics from artists like Kim Petras and Charli XCX and TV movies like the High School Musical series, this chapbook sings of youthful romantic idealism mixed with adult sexual longing in a way that speaks of how desire is a constant, evolving part of life. -Alex Carrigan, author of "Now Let's Get Brunch: A Collection of RuPaul's Drag Race Twitter Poetry" (Querencia Press, 2023)

wyatt's "yes, it’s 2023 and i still burn CDs for you" is a brilliantly burning contradiction of romantics and regret in a cohesive, cacophonous collection. The music inspired poetry will drag you along for the ride with its nostalgic feel and sexual sad boy vibes. This book will swallow you whole, and you're going to like it. -L.M. Cole, author of "Eat Me(at) Your Earliest Convenience" (Kith Books)

excerpt from "live fast, die young":

pick me up late, want to ride the night
until we're blurry, waste my name

a thousand times. baby, are you really
into me, into us?
