My 2016 chapbook, published on Black Warrior Review, is now available online here: http://bwr.ua.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/MeganMilkTheFeels.pdf

An exploration of fan fiction and affect, The Feels collects feel extractions from Buffy and Larry (Harry/Louis) fan fiction, Deleuze & Guattari &c, plus a mash-up of two important affect theorists, William James and Melissa Etheridge; ANNND a short series of writing exercises or feel machines. Deep lez, hard gay, all the feels.

I printed this baby out on the work photocopier in the days before the shut-down. What luck! I really enjoyed this odd collection of found poems about feelings and fandom. I only wish I still had students in my literal classroom because boy howdy, I know the EXACT student who would be into this and who I could coach through the exercises in here. But trying to get that done over the internet--and not getting caught telling students to look for possibly inappropriate stuff--is next to impossible.
