Rochester, Minnesota’s poet laureate and author of The Second Longest Day of the Year
don’t love that I need this shirt freshly laundered every June since our constitution is apparently a google doc that only radical paid-for anti-American psychopaths have access to (and edit with weaponized faux-historical-illiteracy for profit)

I’m hiding in April’s Rochester Magazine! Find me at a local eatery or coffee-ry and read an amazing profile piece by a brilliant writer & friend. I’m incredibly grateful for the support, in these last weeks especially, as we approach “Trust the Hours” on April 26th.

On Thursday, April 10th, I'll be reading poetry with CHS students at Rochester Public Library, sponsored by the MN Minnesota Humanities Center! I'd love if you'd join us as we celebrate poems from the Latino Poetry Anthology. (And you can win a copy of the book!)

we attended an immigrants' rights rally today, organized by Rochester's youth, who are planting seeds of resistance in depleted soil. most students who spoke today read poems they wrote or poems they love. always, always, poetry makes its way to the front of the line. no human is illegal.
