Ephemera
I read from Species of Spaces by Georges Perec while my hair did Medusan things in this amazing hand-drawn animation by Lisa Iglesias at the Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center in 2013.
I read with Donika Kelly, inimitable badass and student of mythical beasts, at Malvern Books in Austin, Texas, in 2017 and it's on YouTube. Watch me or Donika, whose book Bestiary you ought to know and own.
I wrote about travel and desire lines for Sarah Blake’s NPM Daily in 2013; I had a little bit to say at the NEA Writer’s Corner that year, too.
The Poet's Bloc at the Oakland General Strike port shutdown, November 2011 (carrying the “America, I’m putting my queer shoulder to the wheel” sign).
