hey new followers! I wrote a gay memoir about death, violence, murder, and horror movies (and family struggles, coming of age, etc) that some cool and trustworthy people wrote nice things about! I'd be honored if you picked up a copy, and maybe even left a review somewhere!

Books I read this past month of February. I learned so much from these books and I also realized I missed reading so much. I’m feeling a little more intellectual.

I know blurbs are having a little moment right now, but I was excited to write one for @chriscampanioni.bsky.social's amazing hybrid memoir: "Evading classification at every turn, this deeply associative text is migratory and nationless, if genre can be understood as a state from which to emigrate."

I reviewed Here to Stay, which gives voice to 52 undocumented, or once undocumented, poets. Their rebuttal to the Trumpian zeitgeist are invaluable.
