"Any Fruit but Oranges: Poetry in the Time of Facism"
​
"Any Fruit but Oranges: Poetry in the Time of Fascism" is a poetry collection, filled with works written between 2015-2025, which gives a glimpse into the life of Callixta/Calix King, a bigender, trans, queer, and autistic poet from the Midwest. This poetry volume tackles many topics: from the poet's struggles with mental health, to being polyamorous and loving deeply as a neurodivergent being, to navigating the increasingly hostile political landscape that has taken over America in the last decade.
But one message rings true throughout these poems: even in times of strife, there are things to celebrate. There is still joy to be found, art to create, and life to live. And living, and being happy--is truly an act of resistance.

"The Things We Dream at Night"
"The Things We Dream at Night: Modern Erotica Inspired by Gothic Folklore" is a collection that takes on the sensual genre in new, refreshing ways. This exciting tome contains four thrilling and tantalizing short stories based on the lore of the vampire, the motif of love letters, "The Phantom of the Opera", and a Norwegian river spirit. A symphony of the senses begins here.
