I published a poetry chapbook about dealing with religious trauma and compulsory heterosexuality last year, and I dedicated it to my fiancée who I get to marry later this year. Here’s the dedication:

My fiancée is still a part of the religion we both grew up in while I am not. Despite our differing spiritual beliefs, we love and respect each other. She is the Aziraphale to my Crowley and I am so grateful for her support and love while I worked on this project.

Thank you to Terry Pratchett and @neil-gaiman for creating such a wonderful story—with complex, relatable characters—that helped me work through some of the negative experiences I had with religion. ❤️

P.S. The chapbook I wrote is called Religious Trauma in the Key of Poetry and it is available from Bottlecap Press if anyone is interested in checking it out. 😊✨

current mood: waning crescent

(from my upcoming sapphic poetry chapbook, The Orange and Pink Sunset)

I wax and wane like the moon, rise and fall with the tide— each season ushers in a new version of me, happy, sad, manic, depressive— and though I’m not sure why, you love each phase, which says more about how generous you are than about how lovable I am.

Flight

countless years

an adult lifetime spent

huddling in a lightless pit

dug by my own hands

a prison with bars

crafted from my fears

surer than steel

darker than despair

none came to rescue me

but they sat vigil

waiting for me to emerge

no hands pulled me out

but they reached out

waiting for me to grab on

when I awoke

moving from stasis

the grandiosity of life

overwhelmed my senses

I had learned to move but

ran screaming

from the joyous vigilant

ran screaming

from the kind hands

ran screaming

from hearts that touched mine

ran screaming

from my deeper self

inhabiting with calmness

breathing with sagacity

this unfettered world

skills I have yet to achieve

but there is a trick to

harnessing the move-by-wire

system of a traumatized soul

shifting the flow of its

kinetic panic

and now I run screaming

towards shared joy

run screaming

towards kindness

run screaming

towards unknowable hearts

run screaming

towards my treasures

fear still pulls

my eyes screwed shut

but I run regardless

my body senses

the cliffs of Mount Desert Island

slick granite and

Ellsworth Schist

fifteen foot fog masking

the Atlantic roar

like staring into

the periphery of the world

staring into

infinite possibilities

staring into

the ugliest of your inner truths

staring into

the face of a god

and I do not slow, I

leap

heartfirst

and feel it touch

down upon another cliff

again I leap, and

again, and realize

if I just keep leaping

from abyssal cliffs

it is almost

like flying

⚠️Trigger Warning - Post includes heavy discussions and implied references to child abuse, sexual assault, mental illness and other difficult topics. Do not read if you’re not in the right headspace- it isn’t worth your well-being.

So, last semester I wrote a chapbook (short book of poetry) for a writing class of mine. I don’t know if I’ll ever pursue publishing it anywhere, but I posted quite a few rough drafts here and wanted to share if anyone wanted to read.

Thank you for checking it out if you decide to :)

if you were to ask me to write a poem about my identity i would give you scribbled notes

on the take home bulletins from my church

that would all share the same message

god hates me and his people do too,

Untitled

it is March now, but I am still coughing the harvests dirt from my lungs

in flecks now rather than clumps but it is still there

soon it will be replaced with spring soil, later with summer's ash

it seems I am doomed no matter where I go, cursed to continually swallow the earth like my tail

I came from her

I will return to her

this is merely interest

ANNOUNCING NEW QUEER POETRY

babes… i wrote a chapbook! 📖 i woke up one day and scrambled to meet a deadline i literally found at random on the internet. i sent my favorite works to a press in LA and… here we are!! if you need a stocking stuffer for that new lady friend of yours 👀 look no further! deadagain will capture the lesbian chaos and queer existential dread we all feel during holidays ❄️❄️❄️

deadagain is the first published work by Annie Conolly. It is a collection of poems, 35mm photos, and procreate drawings unintended to claim artistic identity. These poems fell out of moments lost in travel, sickness, or love. Written over a span of 10 years, these poems showcase the development of adaptability and emotional reckoning through the lens of queerness and gender exploration. Each image was curated in this collection by underlying threads of chaos, isolation, and caution. The title was inspired by a feeling of apophenia felt during the metamorphosis between careers.

As an experiment, deadagain aims to find the distinctions between artist and art. This art seems innately connected to its creator. However, this art does not evolve while its creator does. What is left between the stasis of publication and the life beyond its release? Pieced together slowly over 2023, this chapbook invites readers to seek out their hobbies and witness their unification into chaos.

Copies can be purchased through:

A Bottlecap Feature, Printed by Bottlecap Press in the United

States of America.
