It was a blast performing at Moira in Utrecht for their Halloween event! Thanks so much to Andrej Kapor for inviting and hosting me. To Arie for tech support, to the other artists who performed, and to everyone who came out for the show. It was a lovely, spooky evening! 💙👻🖤

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 ;).

Experimental poetry and music tends to be an acquired taste, similar to appreciating fine wine, coffee, or tea.

A poem I wrote at Hélène Bessette’s grave. I’ve published it via Substack, but here is the audio I made, something I like to do to work the poem out of the body in another way. (Of course, working it out of my body in my French is a very "another" exercise.)
