I've grown to hate the word "disrupt" in recent months, but I am nevertheless so grateful and excited to be working among so many talented, fascinating, and passionate people in #Artists360 and beyond.
Our communities will save us in the end, I truly believe that.

This past Monday, I read unpublished bilingual poems of mine at, Writers by the Lights, a reading hosted by students from my MFA program.
I was nervous and excited since bilingual poetry (bilingual anything, really) is quite niche, and it was my first time putting these out there.
