happy WITCH WEDNESDAY, buy/read/review my debut novel (2023) EXIT GHOST!

queer, gender-flipped Hamlet in Asbury Park, NJ, in the post-college, post-dad-assassination flail

books2read.com/ExitGhost

jenniferrdonohue.itch.io/exit-ghost

a hardcover copy of Exit Ghost ( (Exit Ghost book cover: a black background with a wisp of smoke curling up, a sketched/stylized sun with an eye in the middle of it in the upper left corner, a sketched hand in the lower right corner wearing a ring in the first finger, with the same eye in the palm, with a single tear falling from it, "Exit Ghost" above it in a cursive/handwrite-y font, Jennifer R. Donohue to the bottom left in the same font. ) leaned against a driftwood log on Asbury Park beach, with sand and the ocean beyond, and a partially-submerged jetty of dark rocks in the water.

'I endeavor to become lichen,
or the lone mail carrier for one of those seaside towns
built into cliffs-
toned calf muscles
gleaming in my wake'

it's been a minute since i've sent/published new poems anywhere— hope you like this one, written for the At What Cost catalog's Style issue, curated by Jessica Scicchitano

ALINA PLESKOVA
FOR CONSIDERATION
I aspire to compete in the international space-out competition
which I've unwittingly trained for all this time-
tenderized by blush-hued mushrooms, elderly metalheads,
the time Rachel said the sky over the highway looked like a wrinkled sheet & Dylan said
I was just about to say that, & I didn't take a photo
because I wanted to recall it only so
My practice is rooted in wondering how the same ingenious species that invented concertos, disco balls,
& broccoli - all seemingly for the hell of it - can't endeavor to dismantle the despotic state apparatus threatening its joy & survival, or at least take cues from the birds who repurpose anti-bird spikes for nest-building
My work doesn't interrogate the tension between tempering a certain shame to make one's art more lucrative & knowing your art makes

your friends cringe
It might ask instead:
Why lower the rarified to regular volume?
Why refashion the sacred into a vibeless ornament?
A mote on the stylus of my consciousness messes with the pickup

O accolade-patterned bio-
O frosted plaque of competency-

I've sensed an emptiness at the back o
f your gaze

How else do we intend to carry out
our absurd impermanence?

I endeavor to become lichen,
or the lone mail carrier for one of those seaside towns
built into cliffs-
toned calf muscles
gleaming in my wake

my very necessary project right now is purging my phone's camera roll (sickening) and I'm doing great (thousands gone) but I draw the line at having to make decisions about photos of dogs who have died

Sagittarius: You will get trapped in the planetarium for 6 days and when you come out you will be able to make stars disappear just by looking at them.

I used to do this too lol. the books in my room were mostly poetry and zines and more special stuff. but then I removed all books from my room in case they were causing allergies and contributing to my ~ problems ~

(I don't make things like this but when I find bones, I obviously collect them. and I have a friend who properly processes them)

My spouse's grandfather does the David Lynch in Twin Peaks yell-talking. The very first time I met him, he said "NICE TO MEET YOU. HAVE YOU EVER ASTRAL PROJECTED? I DID. I GOT STUCK ON THE ROOF." I thought it was a little joke, but it was actually a story.
