When it comes to love and dating, things can get a little euphoric. Or neurotic. Sometimes funny. Occasionally completely devastating. And we all have our ways of working through it. In Scott Muska’s case, he turns to writing—even if it means oversharing. In his first collection, he ruminates on the spectrum of emotions and occurrences that come with navigating relationships, intimacy and, conversely, feeling alone as you try to find what you’re looking for.

Scott Muska was already in a weird place when the pandemic hit—and then of course things just got weirder. He had a lot of time on his hands, and some things to work through, so he started writing at least one short poem a day. Many of These Could Have Just Been Tweets is a collection of some of his favorites that address love, dating, heartbreak, nostalgia, mental health and living in a world where you can sometimes use a salve from the feeling of being alone. Some of them might even be kind of funny. Because if you're not having some fun with it, what even is the point?
