burning (out) and becoming
Poems and spells on love, letting go, and liberation from a queer, autistic, chronically ill mystic.
Burning (Out) and Becoming is a living poetry collection that began in the depths of autistic burnout.
These poems move through neurodivergence, trauma, queerness, chronic illness, love, grief, and the slow work of letting go.
The poems that live here are curated samples from a much larger, evolving book-length collection.
Content Note: Some poems contain references to trauma, mental health experiences and self-injury.
