a life in service of language 🫀

I know you want to come to this. Me and @topazwinters.bsky.social are gonna fete @cavar.bsky.social . Just celebrate the hell out of them. Really do it up. Come on through to discuss Madness and poetry! Bushwick! 1 week!

no babe i think your unfinished novel draft is so chic. the way you dream about your characters at night but the minute you sit down to write your mind goes blank & you get up to vacuum instead? it’s very avant garde. cutting-edge performance art. you should get a book deal on vibes, actually

poetry in unexpected places: my video editing app

i spent six hours teaching today & it was one of the best saturdays i’ve had in a long time. forever astounded by my brilliant students & their curiosity & care for every poem we touch together. forever grateful i get to spend my life in service of the art that has endlessly changed & saved me 🤍

some news! i am forever @sundresspub.bsky.social’s biggest fan, & it’s a true honour to be selected for the writers of colour residency fellowship — the first time i’ve been funded for fiction (!!!) but my third time at firefly farms. let’s make some magick on this novel ✨

delighted to reemerge at the joyful noise of #awp26 after many moons in my cocoon! find me signing books at the button poetry booth, reading at an impossibly cool offsite venue, & speaking on a panel on humour in queer poetics. i’ll be the ghost in red lipstick; say hello while i’m still corporeal 🌹
