Writing: Queer Forty
I'm proud to say I have two new articles up on Queer Forty! First is my column, Gays, Panic! In this edition I talk about how queer folk can identify with the otherness of the monster and suggest some new films that might help us under other "others." Check it here! Second, I interviewed the nice folx at Queerport about their event starting this Monday! Check out the interview, then go to the opening even on Twitch (psst... I'm the opening event).
Event: Wordshed
I'm pleased to announce that I will be reading from my upcoming book, Vigil (bd studios), at the next WordShedNYC event! Give them a follow on Instagram to see all the wonderful things happening!
Aside from yours truly, David Groff, Nicole Sealey, and Salar Abdoh will be reading!.Join us!
Collaboration: Sci-Fi Explosion's Spooptacular

Friends: Carla Cherry
My friend, fellow educator and poet, Carla Cherry, just released a new book. Her poems often lean in to narrative and away from abstraction with skill and wit that I only seen in the works of southern gothic songwriters of the 60's and 70's. Her tone and subject matter a different, but her deft hand and ear render poems that are every bit as powerful. I would recommend Cherry's work to anyone who said they love poetry, and to anyone who said they didn't -- her words are a welcome into a different world.
