Thank you to my friend Zoe for sharing this wonderful memory of me writing during the last day of @omiamifestival ‘s Room of One’s Own: A Teeny Tiny Poetry Residency at the Wolfsonian’s Bridge Tender House in April 2019. So magical.

Thank you, David Lynch for widening the field of possibility. You said, “I hate slick and pretty things. I prefer mistakes and accidents” + “It’s so freeing, it’s beautiful in a way when you have a great failure” + opened doors to wondrous + terrible rooms. A companion to my creativity. R.I.P.

One thing I did to be closer to Dad last year while grieving his death was to begin to grow my modest vinyl collection so that I could listen to music with care again, not as background lifestyle noise, but attentively and joyfully, the way he taught me to as a child.

What a strange day. Here’s me trying to keep my restless and imperious Lily away from her infected tail.

This year’s Sealey Challenge so far—I’ve never made it through a whole month. This year I loaded the month with chapbooks and re-reads and it’s made me look forward to the rest of my poetry year.
