I have an essay in the latest issue of @swamp_pink, perhaps the most personal essay I’ve published. It’s about my childhood horse Shirley, who taught me all I know about love and losing love. It’s about growing up gay in Iowa, horsegirls and straight girls, and me.
“A barn at daybreak is eerily quiet, a shallow rustling of limbs, hooves against the lime foundation, birds fucking in the rafters, slow knickers, horses gently grinding their teeth...” Read Alyse Burnside’s (@comicsanstorm) story “Horse Loose” today at buff.ly/4eo2H7XView quoted post on X
This week's post of ALL MY DEAD PITCHES is dedicated to David Wojnarowicz, on what would've been his birthday weekend.
it’s David Wojnarowicz’s birthday this weekend and Alyse wrote a beautiful pitch about him, love, and heartbreak. I think of him often. @comicsanstorm

@bogusnic and I have a Substack of some of our favorite failed pitches. This pitch is dear to my heart. Its about David Wojnarowicz’s first love, long-distance relationships, and artistic anguish, among other things.
