My series of poems about my exes is complete. I lived my Taylor Swift dream for a week or so. The entire front page is full of boyfriend poems. They have a title form that gives it away — a pairing of words with an ampersand having to do with the relationship in some obvious and obtuse ways. I’m glad they exist in the world. Head to the main page to see all of them or enjoy the latest entry.

Besos & La Bufadora even has an autofiction companion of sorts from a while back if you would like to read that here.

I haven’t written new poetry about my now-husband, but you can find a love poem to our relationship past here. We did eventually get married, but nowhere near dramatic enough. We are planning a fuller ceremony with people when we can host it without worrying about being a superspreader event.
