If you haven’t checked out Blood Alluvium, you’re missing out on some amazing words.

S. Preston Duncan @sprestonduncan.bsky.social · Jun 8

One from my book, Blood Alluvium.

Don't let your cut foot ruin our walk on the beach

Tell me about the cops
who once stood in the stall beside you
at the Southside shooting range
while you painted each other with paper imaginations

Before they dragged you to prison
with all the joy of an old man whose dog came home at last

How every footprint in the south feels like a clue you left behind

There are little embers sharpening on the wind
of a thin blue dusk

racing the tide for a crumpled paper
at the edge of some cutrate Jerusalem

Appreciation Message

Hi Andrew!
I found both Hex Magic and Hexual Awakening at a thrift store in San Francisco and I am so happy I was called to grab them!

I am so in love with the characters and the depth of the relationships and identities you have created for them. Your writing is such a wonderful respite in such a tumultuous and alarming sociopolitical climate. The love that Cernun and Learco and Darragh have for each other makes me cry every time. The ending of Hexual Awakening was beautiful and perfect. I’m ordering book three tomorrow!

Thank you for sharing your stories with the world. They are deeply appreciated.

Lots of well wishes,
Alaisha
