Recorded this podcast in my bathroom in BK and it was extremely fun! Poems by Jim, Mei-mei, and @JoyelleMcS, 3 poets among many that I look up to. Each reads their poem like exactly themselves, perfectly so, with humble little intros by me, thanks UA Poetry Center for the invite!

just came here to put this on your timeline, cats are good for your blood pressure, hope you have a great day

My next book is not going to be as good—or as intelligent or interesting—as my last book, because it is a record of living, therefore of exhaustion and deterioration. But it is for that reason a book that I love and am grateful to be sharing. Hydra Medusa, 2023 Nightboat Books.
