I am a writer from California presently living in the Hudson Valley. Language is my love language. In my multi-modal, unruly practice, I engage with memory, obsession, sex, visual art, illness, self-obliteration, chisme, loss, magic, and place, often California, what is called California. What is called New York. Through experiments in poetry, prose, collaboration, and multilingual composition, I build and fracture worlds and solid perspectives. Approaching from all directions. I am interested in writing/reading as experience, a vapor, something felt more than known. Something that might vibrate, arrest, thrill. Rooted in rock and roll, or from the same place, or dreaming of being from the same place, or anywhere but here. Also as a political act because I the revolution won’t happen from information but more from feeling together and energizing each other. “I believe in music, I believe in love.” Another world is possible. Destroy the family, pay the poet.
