I am working on a longer prose project about queer romance, community building, sapphic drama +++. I am currently looking to place excerpts from this MS in publications that centre queer writers — if your pub enjoys first-person lyrical essays (with equally gay accompanying playlists), I’d love to hear about it.

In organizing, writing, teaching, etc., my aims are to support diverse voices, build meaningful community, and spur enchantment through ritual + connection. I believe that poetry does something, that gathering together in creativity can be cosmic, and that art is essential to activism. I feel most alive when immersed in language and music, when scanning the horizon for whales, when showing up for community and holding space for others to create + feel + envision.

To that end, my publishing project andand will launch soon (yes,very belatedly) with support from arts grants. Stay tuned, it’s still happening (slower + better than originally planned).

I love collaborating with artists who share similar dreams. To feature my writing, work on a project together, invite me to facilitate or teach, or to simply talk about being queer creatives in a beautiful + challenging world, get in touch.
