I'm starting a newsletter. Free & short: just 5 things each week that are strange, beautiful, or otherwise captivating me.

One of my attempts to break free of the social media age and try to re-capture what I used to love about the Internet.

First one launches Monday 1/13.

If we can take one thing from the way lynch talks about art I think it should be to never again dilute your vision and don't put off any art you want to make because it all dies with you, there's no other way, there's no one else

I took zero pictures at last night’s Franklin Park Reading Series, but I got not one but TWO hugs from the stunning Elle Nash who also signed my copy of her new book, which is pretty damn rad.

At a reading—Please please please writers, do not go over your allotted time. If you do, know that a lot of listeners will not, likely, purchase your book.
