Hello everyone.

I have three published poems (“To Accede Into My Own Desires”, “Deep in my Heart”, and “Beneath”) in Variant Literature magazine, specifically in their Second Chance Anthology. My poems are credited under my pseudonym Ellie Onka. You can either order the anthology here or read the free PDF instead. You can find my work in pages 30–32.

The Second Chance Anthology contains literary pieces that have been withdrawn by their authors from unsafe publishing houses and magazines. The goal of the anthology is to bundle works into what is deemed a safe literary community and to expose magazines that contain unsafe views, for instance, racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-semitism, etc, etc.

My utmost thanks to Tyler Pufpaff for accepting my pieces as well.

I hope you not only enjoy my poems, but as well the work from the rest of the contributing authors of this beautiful and heartfelt anthology.

Thank you.
