📖 Hey, Spill readers — this is Volume 9.5.
A half-volume. A moment to pause, breathe, and catch you up between the big drops.
If you missed the last one, Volume 9 was all about Revolt, Solo zines, Collabs, and getting our bodies into motion particularly in nature aka hiking. And now Volume 9.5 picks up where that energy left off.
📚 Kindle Unlimited + Poeaxtry Publications
Just in case you missed it or forgot…
All 3 of my self-published eBooks plus my full prompt journal with poems written to every single prompt are available on Kindle Unlimited.
✨ Subscribers can read them all free with their membership.
Each piece is its own reflection, rooted in resistance, softness, and persistence, poetry that walks through the same dirt paths I do.
📖 Titles currently live on Kindle Unlimited:
“Beginnings & Endings”
“Because I was Prompted”
“Ramblings of the Lost and Found”
“I like to read; you like to watch the life drain out of a person.”
🚨 Zines aren’t on Kindle Unlimited… yet.
You can still find every zine and eBook digitally on Etsy, Gumroad, and Payhip with more platforms coming soon… as I expand The Prism’s reach.
💌 Not a KU subscriber? No worries.
You can request free access to read any of my solo Poeaxtry Poetry Prism publications — all I ask in return is an honest review. Fill the form out here or email me at poeaxtry@gmail.com for any questions or concerns.
💎 New Creations from the Workbench
Between edits, submissions, and hikes, I’ve been busy in the studio. And I finally upgraded my jewelry designs.
The new bales I ordered changed everything: now, each piece dangles freely, no longer cradled by a “ball”. It’s just the stone, the metal, the magic. Though you can still get the stones with the balls & still be able to change stones out. There’s just two options now instead of one!
They move, catch the light differently, and feel more alive. That on theme with the rest of what’s changing around here.
Keep an eye out for new listings of stone necklaces and keychains soon on Etsy or Locally at Frogwood Boardshop in Heath, Ohio.
🌿 Trails, Edges, and Inspiration
My most recent hike took me all the way to The Edge of Appalachia preserve. A place that felt like standing in two worlds at once.
The silence out there writes its own poems if you listen long enough.
There’s something about dirt, stone, and distance that sharpens your creative edges. At least for me it does.
That trip brought a lot of clarity, and maybe even sparked the next adventure… we’ll see.
Oh and expect a surprise zine and/or ebook drop sometime. I am honestly, sitting on a few completely finished just waiting for me to give in and, give them to you.
✍️ 15 Poems & a Manuscript Out in the World
For the first time in a while, I submitted 15 poems to publications outside my own press. And for the first time ever I submitted an entire manuscript. Fingers crossed🤞🏻
It’s nerve-wracking, grounding, and freeing. Somehow all at once.
Every “submit” click is another way of saying, I still believe in this.
📢 Collabs Still Open
Both of the following collabs are still live and accepting submissions:
💬 Voices for the Voiceless — for marginalized creators and allies speaking on silenced or stolen narratives.
🌈 The Joy They Can’t Erase — a collection centered on joy, resistance, and unapologetic presence from gender nonconformist voices and allies.
You can always find details and submission links through The Prism hub or my links.
💬
This little half-volume is a pulse check. The proof that even between the “big” releases, there’s always movement here.
New work, new stones, new trails new seasons, and new stories.
I am still creating, still showing up, still loud where silence used to live, and even more unapologetic about it.
Thank you for walking this with me.
