As I ponder a move to Canada, I've thought about life in exile and Gonzalo Rojas came to mind. I studied with him at BYU where he lived in exile before the return of democracy to Chile. I am awed by his capacity to retain his sensitivity and fervor for life in the face of state brutality and loss.

Join me for a reading from my book Objetos de [des]amor along with new work from longtime collaborators Cindy Williams Gutiérrez, Ivonne Saed and phenomenal guitarist María E. Olaya. We'll be at Milagro's Zócalo on June 22, 1-3 pm! Come early to chat and enjoy our art installation!

Come see me tonight at Literary Arts!

I really need to figure out who can take care of my garden so I can move part time to Canada.

The Oregonian put the crowd estimate at 1,500–seemed like more (not from this spot). Portland can turn out bigger and rowdier protests but this was enough to come away feeling like today was a good start.

My first royalty check came yesterday, $12.70! This only covers about 10 days during launch month, but memoir writing is an act of devotion, not greed. Know what? That's $12.70 more than I ever got from any of my academic publications. Get your copy from editorial.elinverso.com/objetos/! 🌈📚

Wow, 3 months have gone by since the release of my memoir! This work of poetry, prose, and photography is an expansion of my pre-retirement autoethnography work. Any Latinx/religion/queer scholars interested in writing a review? Let's talk! editorial.elinverso.com/objetos/ 🌈📚

I took a day off from film festival curating to finish a new lith print. ANSCO 70 mixed from scratch on Foma Retrobrom finally gave me a clear image with no splotching! Taken at Damon Point in Ocean Shores, WA.

This is the memoir I published in October. It explores relationships, religious trauma, and grief through poetry, narrative nonfiction and photography. It's print only with no ebook planned, learn more at editorial.elinverso.com/objetos/
