The preorder link for my debut poetry collection, What We Do with God, releases this Friday 7/18! What We Do with God, forthcoming Sept 9 from @haymarketbooks.org !

& with that, it is done. My debut poetry collection, What We Do with God, is finalized & off to the printer. After 8 yrs of work—from its inception in grad school (2017) to today—I have a book, my first book. What We Do with God, forthcoming Sept 9th 2025 from @haymarketbooks.org

So, Vanessa Angélica Villarreal says I’m a “transformational poet” and that my debut is “a luminous collection” which means the press of my heart will no longer be accepting opinion submissions. Submissions closed, forever. What We Do with God, forthcoming Sept. 9th with @haymarketbooks.org !

What is the best Love you’ve ever had in this world? Be quiet while thinking about that Love. If someone comes along and starts talking, quietly shoo them away, you’re busy, you’re a poet… Be quiet so quiet, let the very sounds of that Love be heard in your bones. —CAConrad, from “(Soma)tic 6”

Tomorrow I start my trek to Georgia to interview for a job that would literally change everything & give me stability. I’m selling my art & taking on commissions for food/transportation while I’m there. Also open to gifts: Venmo: @ danijoon Cash app: $Daniellajoon Thank you! Please share!

Wishing I was at AWP w/ you all, my friends. I wrote a poem yesterday—I hope that counts. Next year I’ll be at AWP. My book will have come out. The release date is this coming Sept 9. I hope you’ll read it & find goodness or rage or comfort or whatever you need from it. 🧵

MY BOOK HAS A COVER! Cover reveal coming soon soon soon. What We Do with God, forthcoming with @haymarketbooks Sept 9th 2025!

Blurbs locked in! All four of my dream blurbers said “yes” & I’m so grateful. What We Do with God forthcoming with @haymarketbooks.org Sept 9, 2025!

Last night, my partner/my baby/my beloved said something to the effect of, “you mistake suffering for life. Suffering isn’t life, it’s suffering.” Today, I got a hair refresh & spent time outside. Maybe I’ll read later. Maybe I’ll nap. But I’ll remember to make the distinction.

Hello Booksky, I seriously need writing/editing/teaching gigs. I’m short on funds right now, and with bills mounting like bulls on heat, the pressure is somewhat inundating. Please if you have any job for me, or know anyone who does, or come across any job opportunity, please share with me. Thanks.

Please repost.

Just received the copy edits for my forthcoming, debut poetry collection, What We Do With God, which means I’m one step closer to having my book in the world 😭🤲🏼. What We Do With God, slated to be released w/ @haymarketbooks.org Sept 9, 2025!

This café keeps replaying the classical sample of ASAP Rocky “Praise the Lord” which I think is fitting because I just landed an interview to be Associate Editor of a v cool journal. More soon!

Now taking commissions for book covers. Here are examples of covers I've done, for Dr. Joshua Bennett and Monica Rico. DM me or submit an inquiry on my website toosie.art !

I decided to add my photography to my website & I’m really excited to showcase it for you, friends. Go to www.toosie.art / hover over the “visual art” tab / it will give a drop down / select “photography” / & there you have it. If you like what you see, DM me to book a shoot!

I just got out of my publicity handoff meeting for my debut poetry collection. Each meeting with @haymarketbooks.org makes everything feel more real. The book is officially done & out of my hands. I’m so grateful for my press. What We Do With God, forthcoming 2025!

I don’t know how many people this skeet will reach, but I want to say that I am revamping my Substack and I would love everyone to join the fussportal since I am officially a jobless quarter-lifer who indulges in spare-time flingshots to keep sane.
