What I’m About
Hi! So happy you stopped by :) My name is Danae, and I am a 24-year-old poet trying to find my way in this fascinating but brutal literary world. My work has been internationally recognized through journals as well as competitions.
My most recent print publication
“Arachnophobia” published in Rabbit Journal for Nonfiction Poetry
“…Is that when you fell?
Chaff like Prometheus
shivering
in the wheat fields, paint-ribbons
and blistered brick all pumped with a siren song?
You plummeting into the carcass of earth?
The porch swing. Us dangling our sneakers
like the word enough…”
