I'm happy to see Born Backwards get some love this award season. Writing poems is the fun/scary/invigorating part but it is always nice to see someone is out there reading and appreciating the work. #poetry

I loved being part of WOW8 on Wisconsin Ave in Bethesda. Visual artist Pam Gregory designed an installation including my poem Don't Come Home (on the tornado). It's beautiful and I love it. #booksky #poetry

Excited to have a poem from Born Backwards be part of WOW8. If you are in the DC area between now and June, check out this artist/poet combination show. #poetry

Sticker at our Metro opening. Watching a Russian asset dismantle democracy and destroy America for oligarchs is terrible. The only positive aspect might be the return of a strong sticker and graffiti resistance game. Let's go artists! #FuckLeonandtheIncels

Enjoyed Mrs Robinson last night including a Q&A w/Mary Robinson herself. I wore my campaign pin I've had since 1990. Not much of a keeper of things, but the pin reminds me what good leadership looks like and that good leaders exist #CapitalIrishFilmFestival #SolasNua

DC is a town under attack from the current oligarchy- workers and residents have lies told about them everyday. Poetry tells both actual and potential truths. I plan to meet this obligation
