Hello and welcome to Disco Diaries, a collection of personal essays, interviews, vignettes, and non-poems with new releases several times a month. I’m your host, Katrina Eresman, a writer, musician, and creative based out of Cincinnati, Ohio, a city that feels part-midwest and part-southern, with lots of great people but not enough breakfast spots.

My dream is for this Substack to be a safe and inspiring space where curious folks, creatives, and dreamers can gather and feel seen. Disco Diaries often touches on topics like memory, desire, creative practice, and relationships. Once a month I publish a series called 5 Poems I Saw, in which I or a guest collect non-poems from life and share these little moments with you.

Why subscribe?

I’ll give you five reasons:

  1. You like good writing and want to support independent creatives

  2. It’s free and fun, like getting a letter from your friend in the mail

  3. You have a bad habit of scrolling on your phone and need to look at something more inspiring and substantial than social media

  4. You’re a creative person looking for more creative community

  5. Every subscription—even the free ones—support my work and make my day
