and whatnot, by andres tello

Poetry, chapbook, 32 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

About half of this chapbook is things that were scattered throughout my tumblr, some around 10 years old. The first half are recent. Something happened for around 2 months that gave me a lot of energy and made associative thinking at least feel a lot easier which made writing poems suddenly feel easy as hell.

So about half of them are about trying to not let that energy turn into panic. And then some of the latter ones are about the comedown off that episode. Pretty standard mood disorder poetry stuff.

andres dislikes talking about himself in the third person. He's from Los Angeles but somehow ended up in rural Arizona. He likes nature walking and hiking when it isn't too hot, and trying to learn to make music. His soundcloud is dresvv and his instagram is @necklacings
