Poetry Events

Most of you, I’m assuming, were not able to make it to the SUMMER DEATH poetry reading featuring six Luna Luna writers/editors/contributors last Thursday. Luckily, there is some video of the so-gorgeous-it-hurts poetry of Alyssa Morhardt-Goldstein, the vivacious lines of Lisa Marie Basile, [...continue...]

Happy Autumn, everybody! It’s officially now fall, so bring on the scarves and boots and… pumpkin spice… everything. Dear god. The pumpkin spice… Anyway! New interviews up at Luna Luna, with two fantastic humans who perform burlesque! First I interviewed Jan Tina, “The [...continue...]

Bitch Magazine, Issue #64 Apologies, my lovely darling crumpets, for not writing you brilliant new blog posts more often! I am in the process of trying to find a new apartment in New York City, which anybody who makes less than a million dollars a year can tell you is pretty much the equivalent of [...continue...]

It's that time of year again! What time of year? you may be asking. The time when we take off our shoes and lay around on the grass? The time when we buy food-truck morsels and have a picnic?

I spent my day at the festival doing readings in a little Poetry Brothel tent full of lace and beads and weirdness on Governor’s Island. I wore a corset and a lot of jewelry and did [...continue...]

Two announcements to draw attention to things I’ve done or am doing! Self-promotion! Hey, it’s my website. I do what I want! 1) I published a short essay at LUNA LUNA Mag called “The Mouth Breather.” This is the first installment of my once-a-month column on commuting via [...continue...]

Last night I read about ten minutes of poetry at Patasola’s Parlor, a monthly reading and performance series coproduced by Lisa Marie Basile and Emily Linstrom, two powerhouse NYC poets for whom I’ve had immense respect for ages. I’ve participated in The Poetry Brothel with LMB [...continue...]

You guys, next week I will turn 30. Not only will I lose my twenty-something status, but on the day of my birth, my New York Statre driver’s license will expire. So I will have to feel old and go to the DMV on the same day. I am very seriously considering dressing up in a RIDICULOUS outfit [...continue...]
