"This cooked." –Michael Howe
Joshua Steely's heart is served up on a silver platter in his debut poetry collection, Waffles are the Sponsor of my Woes. Steely's food-metaphor-based poems explore themes of Hope, Rejection, Desperation, Rage & Regret, Resignation, and Sadness as if steps for the recipe of a hopeless romantic. With chocolatey tears and stained shirts, readers can experience the feeling of grasping at straws that so inspired many of the poems within.
While Waffles are the Sponsor of my Woes is written from the perspective and experiences of a 16-19 year old boy, the emotions evoked by emptied gourds and sweet cinnamon rolls are for everyone. Is a diet from love the answer? Gorging on it until there's nothing left? Steely offers spoonful after spoonful, but each taste leaves only a desire for more...

Welcome
To a collection of Steely’s greatest works, curated by… well… me. Joshua Steely.
It could be called laziness, wanting to create my own little bookshelf outside of the constraints of a library. But by all means, that’s what this website is. While the library of social media is overpopulated with attention-seeking creators, this website is my little nook to stash my sculptures and essays. A folder to file away my rants and remembering. Honestly, it’s more for my Mom than the rest of the world. This website functions as my alternative to social media: sharing with the world, but without the social pressure. I still have social media accounts for some things, but the goal is to keep everything here, controlled and contained, but available to those who look.
If you’re bored and have nothing better to do, feel free to peruse!
