I'll be back up in Utrecht again this weekend, reading at the launch party for my dear friend Andrej Kapor's new book. It's an event that I'm super excited to be part of, so if you're in the Netherlands let me know! And if not, have no fear. Andrej will be on tour soon ;).

I wanted to say thank you to @chapp010.bsky.social for inviting me to speak to your creative writing students at Oxbridge again this summer. I feel deeply grateful for the opportunity to connect with these minds of the future. I only hope that I inspire them half as much as they inspire me. 🙏

As of today, it's 15 years since my last sip of alcohol, and I'm still increasingly happy with that decision.

This month I'll be returning to Swerve Magazine in Skibbereen Ireland, where I was in residence last year, writing a Bespoke Book in the days after the US election. In honor of my upcoming return, I thought I'd share the reading of that book: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdxt...

This is my performance from the Antidote du Lot festival! I was in residence at the Magic Farm for two weeks, sitting on a bale of hay writing one of my Bespoke Books in public view. Then at the finissage event, I got up on the bale and read it aloud: (vostfr) www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkDF3aPA-A8
