There’s still space left in SCRIBES this summer! Great interview with my co teacher about how we’re transitioning to online camp.

I have been sampled!! Does this make me a musician finally?? Looking for a loophole... always happy to have other artists inspired by my work.

Always so happy to have this poem out there in the world. I’m stunned so many people have engaged with it: there is no better gift as a writer.
