Pretty Punks: Poems, Portrait, and Play (Magra Books, December 2025).

ISBN: 979-8-9926955-4-0

Pretty Punks: Poems, Portrait, & Play hyphenates the collected poems of William B. Yeats into a transmasculine cacophony of love and labor across the American South and Midwest. I have kept select original titles as referenced from The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats (Scribner, 1989) and The Poetry of W.B. Yeats (Sirius, 2023). Select poems have been

previously published in Sarka, The Minnesota Review, Pity Milk Press, and Soft Systems Galleries. Pretty Punks is an ode to Irish poetics, my fellow Irish Americans in the Deep South, and every trans artist and activist living their truth in life and work. Le grá, beidh an

bua againn. With love, we will win.
