the @peabodyheightsbrewery show on the last night of AWP was my last event as part of the @discountguillotine collective. it was also such a special show to go out on as you can see from the wildly positive energy in these pics & also we ran out of chairs.
thank you to the DG team, everyone who came to or read at a show, supported the events, connected me with venues, bought merch &/or liked an instagram post! i connected with sooo many amazing people through DG shows & i’m very grateful! please stay connected :)
i am basically kind of burnt out & hoping to have more energy to pour into my writing & art, running @madness_press , leading more month offline workshops in dc & maybe facilitating irl writing & zine workshops - so don’t worry, you can’t get rid of me! i’m everywhere! stay tuned!
love you love my community thank you 4ever! <3
threw in some random AWP pics that i never posted too :P
the poet does not concern herself with the confines of linear time
reading with @poets_row in philadelphia 1 week from today + some poems i wrote in @beloitpoetryjournal /@rhizome_dc mag / @brandoncohenlong zine fundraising for @immdefense + pic of what i look like when reading … u get the idea
always a thrill to see my words in print + read them out loud in front of ppl <3
I turned 30 the only way I know how - wearing a tiara & covered in fake blood. Tbh I confronted my deep fear of throwing a party and no one coming so this meant a lot to me 🖤 Thank u all for showing up in a million ways every day! I’m only sorry I don’t have more pictures! New decade is for more costume parties + creative practices + being brave !!! 🖤 i Love uuu
AWP OFF-SITE READING! I REPEAT! AWP OFF-SITE READING!
FOR THE HOTTIES! THE BADDIES! THE MENTALLY UNWELL! PEOPLE IN MORE THAN $5K OF DEBT! GAYS WHO WANT REVENGE! STRAIGHTS WHO WANT GAY REVENGE! BIBLICALLY ACCURATE ANGELS!
