It’s time for Augur to become a press. We’ve waited long enough. We need a new CanSpec publisher. I want to find delicious book-length projects. It won’t be immediate—set up will be at least a year. But I think it’s finally time.

My first published poem "Graveyard Orbits" appeared in @augurmag.bsky.social, Issue 5.2 in November 2022.
It's a small poem about grief and space funerary rites: "Few of us remember funeral rites beyond/ leaving rings of Loved Ones around moons".

I was lucky to work with Alyssa Donnelly in this issue on her Gumiho 🦊✨ story "June in Winter" that will absorb you into its pores, line by line. The overall joy, suspense, creativity, and atmospheric feels in 6.2, The Vast Fantastic, are astounding. Don't miss this magic.💜

What an issue ✨ I am the lucky editor that got to work with Nisa Malli, Sofie Vlaad, and Rachel Lachmansingh on their INCREDIBLE poems, but every piece in 6.2 is just stunning. Justice Rocks by Trae Hawkins?! Winter Love by E.C.Dorgan?! We’ve got dragons AND cannibals baby. Read up.
