Michael Ching wrote the music and I wrote the lyrics for this choral piece about Ada Lovelace for the North Cambridge Family Opera's "Giants of Science" program. It's...so cool...and so is NCFO.

So happy my poem, "Drones", is up today at Portside. I'm in great company, too—lots of cool content here. It was originally published on Ampersand Review. Thanks for having me, Peter N. Carroll!

An essay for Indolent Books' "Writers on Writing" series. Thanks for having me, Michael Broder!

I had a great time hanging out with Evan Burger for this interview. Apparently I give very little context in verbal conversation. Hm! 

I made a video to go with a poem on Jubliat! Sources: Billion Backed Records, Jeweled Queen, Chuck Jones, and Oprah! 

Here are the slides from my craft talk at the Sarah Lawrence Poetry Festival! That was FUN!

"Solar Punk" is what's been missing from my life! It very well might help me manage the constant anxiety and cynicism I have about the demise of our planet. Consider kicking in a few bucks to get the ball rolling on this anthology, edited by two very cool Iowa State CWE students, then we can all submit to it!

I've long been a fan of Jubilat and am honored to be in the new issue with Ana Božičević, Kaveh Akbar, Anne Boyer, Camille Rankine and many more bada$$es.

My day at the Sarah Lawrence College Poetry Festival was a cavalcade of awesomeness. My talk on humor in poetry had a good crowd including Tim Seibles and David Tomas Martinez. I didn't know RuPaul was talking behind me on a slide the whole time.

Kimiko Hanh woke us up and gave me a million things to think about. Can't wait to try writing my first zuihitsu. Then a wonderful reading by students from all over the state. My fave title: "I am a Dodecahedron" (Booyah!)

Then a cosmic panel on the body with Robin Coste Lewis, Jericho Brown and my NYU guru Mark Doty. Then Robin's reading of a lifetime (I didn't cry but almost did), which I had to follow :S, then Jericho and Mark shared the stage. I mean WHAT?!

Got to meet the lovely Ellen Bass, too! Thank you, Marie and Jen and Jeffrey McDaniel, for having me and for putting on such a WONDERFUL festival. I lived a lifetime of poetry in a day, and, to quote Jericho, I am so very grateful.
