Last year we started our online poetry journal and published 47 poems on our old blog. Those amazing poems were then collected into a digital volume that is available for download! We’ve been on hiatus but Oatleaf is back! The journal is now on Substack and submissions are open! oatleafpoetry.com

I saw a deer today! 🦌

Hello poets! We have been on hiatus for a few months but we are excited to announce that Oatleaf is ready to get back up and running again. Oatleaf is now on Substack! It will be easier to subscribe to the journal and get poems sent directly to your inbox. Submissions are open! oatleafpoetry.com

I'm getting closer to having 1,500 poems under my belt!

I love self-publishing and being indie. All I want to do is write my silly poetry and if it resonates with others then that's a bonus. 💚

Happy Juneteenth!

Happy Pride Month from this nonbinary panromantic asexual. 🖤🩶🤍💜

One of my poems got accepted for publication! I’m thrilled. 💚

The ebook for my verse novella In Lonely Corners will be available for sale in my ebook shop on Friday, May 15th! Until then, the first fifteen poems from the novella are available to read! andileighwrites.com

I made a new author website! 💚 I think it looks better than my Linktree, haha. andileighwrites.com

I Can Picture the Ghosts Here

A poetry collection about life, death, and the in-between. Mundane moments, thoughtful wonderings, lingering memories, once-important things left behind, emotional growth—what makes us human.

I’m getting back into writing microfiction. It’s been a while!

Things will get better. It may be a slow process but I’m hopeful.

I’m grateful for the weather being good today. 🌻 And I’m grateful for crepes!

Happy National Poetry Month!

AI can’t improve your writing. Only you can improve your writing. Through practice and experience you will improve the more you write. AI can only make you sound like everybody else, as it takes away your unique voice. I would rather my work be perceived as bad. At least I wrote it. #humanauthor

I wrote free verse and tanka this morning! Read several pages of Bright Dead things by Ada Limon. The sun started rising around six and even though it’s chilly, I’m pretty happy so far. 💚 #justwriterthings
