"Eros" poem in Moonflake Press

My poem, titled "Eros", is out now in Moonflake Press' special 10th issue, The Affair Vol. II. Moonflake Press' first issue had the theme The Affair, so in celebration of having a 10th issue, they dedicated the theme accordingly. I really enjoyed reading Vol. I (it inspired me to submit to the Vol. II submission window!), so I've linked there as well in case you're interested.

I wrote about Eros, the god of passion, after reading The Complete Poems of Sappho by Willis Barnstone, where Sappho often writes poems addressing deities like Eros and Aphrodite especially. After I found out that Eros is also the name of a possible asteroid impactor of Earth, I wanted to write a poem that leverages both of these identities. I hope you enjoy my queer & science influenced love poem!

I'm thrilled to be published by Moonflake Press, with its all woman team <3
