So… much… packing…. Hello, world! It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here, and I apologize for my absence! But I want to let you all know that my scarcity of late isn’t me neglecting you. It’s me making big changes. First of all, the website itself [...continue...]

Just in time for me to go on vacation (thank god), my latest piece for Luna Luna surfaces! I originally called it "A Breakup Letter to New York." [...continue...]

The New York Poetry Brothel will be at Figment this weekend on Governor’s Island, lounging our finest whore wear! The festival is going to be aMAZing and full of collaborative (and free!) art for attendees to admire and help create, music, dancing, face-painting, and weirdness of all kinds! I [...continue...]
