Welcome to Delovely, my personal slice of the internet. This site is home to my poetry, my zines, and some random blog posts.
Sudden rush of wind against my skin /
Heartbeat quickens as geese cry
Where am I?
Somehow, some way, you have stumbled into a virtual realm called the “small web,” otherwise known as the “indie web.”
These terms refer to a loose coalition of personal websites that exist outside the periphery of the corporate web. (Booo!)
Artists, writers, thinkers, and daydreamers alike are sharing their ideas and art on the web, and new indie websites are being discovered everyday.
Discovering new sites on the small web is easy, thanks to search engines like Marginalia Search and traditions such as “link pages” and “webrings”...

Because why not? Because I like when I see others share, too, so it’s only right to return the favor! Because words are free...

Horoscope
Dear reader, I will admit, I am wholly agnostic and have no interest in astrology. What I am interested in is your humanity. Regardless of your star sign or the timing of your birth, you are statistically likely to grow and change through the course of your life, and this should be embraced. I recommend that you never stop learning. A wise man once said, “Don’t let school get in the way of your education.”
Dedication to Mnemosyne-Seshat
Our words reach one another in the ether, thanks to the great goddess Mnemosyne-Seshat. Mnemosyne, goddess of memory, language, and the telling of histories. Seshat, goddess of writing, and thereby patroness of knowledge, math, astronomy, and science. Mnemosyne-Seshat, mother of all muses by thunder-bearing Zeus, consort of wise and discerning Thoth, we live long thanks to your gifts!
