Bride to Me is a newsletter for romantics 🥀

In this newsletter I share original essays, poetry, photos, and reading/listening recs that explore solitude, loneliness, and self-commitment.

🥀 Paid subscribers receive bi-monthly posts that dive into these themes as well as insights into my writing process and the practical details of how I romanticize solitude on the daily. Your subscription also supports me as a chronically ill artist as I write a book! Thank you!

💌 Free subscribers receive quarterly updates with short essays, photos, and updates on new work and classes.

Social media algorithms are finicky beasts and it can be hard to stay updated! Get my poetic missives sent straight to your email inbox :)

Thanks for being here!
