In Are You There, sam refracts contemporary melancholia into iridescent lyricism. Grief, mania, pop culture, faith, quantum physics & digital relationships collide, alive with the spiky humour of brutal self-awareness, aglow with startling new language.

sam Are You There is out on the 25th April 2024. Pre-order it here: badbettypress.com/product/are-yo… Also available to pre-order from Waterstones or in e-book form from anywhere.

I’m so happy to share the cover for Are You There, my debut full-length poetry collection, and share the book’s pre-order link. So many thanks to Bad Betty Press, Amy, and Jake, who have believed in my work (and continue to!). you can pre-order it here: badbettypress.com/product/are-yo… +

This year I had a small book published processing a forward propulsion over a threshold. It kind of disappeared into the black hole of the internet, but I’m proud of it. If you want a present for your loved one that will confuse them, I have 6 copies for $12, free shipping. :)

my cat is going crazy over these print copies olneymagazine.com/store/p/reform…

I put all the covers I did that came out this year into a pile and this is that pile. 🥈🥉📚👨🏼‍🏫

I wrote a book of poems that came out last April from Ghost City Press. It is a manic collection about healing, artistic purpose, purgatorial wandering, and ball pits. I feel often like I am both through and inside of that threshold. Please read it. ghostcitypress.com/bookstore/ball…
