If you’d like to make a small, flexible contribution to the everyday labour behind my work, you can do so through Buy Me a Coffee.

These donations help cover the quiet, necessary costs of sustaining a creative practice — research tools, transcription, admin time, childcare during deadlines, and all the behind-the-scenes work that makes the larger projects possible.

This support is separate from the DEW Scholarship.
It simply helps keep the ecosystem running with steadiness and capacity.

Archipel is an international platform where poets, readers, and thinkers meet across languages and borders. Paid subscriptions help sustain the long-form essays, interviews, profiles and cross-border conversations I publish — and also contribute to the DEW Scholarship in steady, quiet ways.

If this work matters to you, becoming a paid subscriber helps keep it open, accessible, and gate-free. 🌊.

The Donald E. Waterfall Scholarship honours my father’s belief that language is a bridge, not a border. Each donation supports mentorship and publishing opportunities for emerging poets — including our current DEW Scholar, Isaiah Adepoju.

Help Support Future Scholars

The DEW Scholarship is sustained by readers, writers, and communities who believe that emerging poets deserve time, attention and steady ground.

If Isaiah’s journey resonates with you, you can help support the next scholar — and the ecosystem around them — by contributing to the fund.
