New Poetry in Yo-New York!

Yo-New York! is a crazy ‘zine playing with authorship and place and they published my love poem to my bff. I’m in there with loads of other amazing New York-centric artists. ❤

Group Huddle Reading in New York

It was so beautiful to read with Group Huddle. It was right after the election and it was incredibly healing to come together and read new work in translation. Parker Menzimer also made an elegant ‘zine of our work that everyone there received.

I am here in North Adams in the cold and snow working on a book. It is so beautiful here and I get to live among the art. The residency gives us space and some career counseling as well. Here is more information Mass MoCA Studios— it is such an honor to be here.

This is my studio with my book up on the walls:

During the month of November I was lucky enough to be a fellow at the New York Center for Book Arts. I learned letterpress and bookmaking skills and hopefully I bring these new techniques to projects in the coming year. Barbara Henry, our teacher and master printer, was incredible and I hope to get back to the center soon!
