| Introduction | Author of the chapbook silt will swirl (NewBorder), available on Amazon & iBooks. Poems appear or are forthcoming in Colorado Review, West Branch, Water~Stone Review, The Offending Adam, Laurel Review, Octopus, Washington Square, among others. The remix: Contrarian. Passionate. Bibliophile. Irreverent. Queer. Foul-mouthed. Sagittarian sun, Aquarian moon, Gemini rising. An ubiquity of other mullioned, occasionally contradictory, absolutely unboring things. Just like any other shining - because we're all, originally, stardust - human being. |
| Interests | Language(s). The human heart's wayward lines. Spirituality in all its forms. Body as text, text as body. Body as canvas... Nature, as the face of God Herself. Shamanism, druidry. Earth-honoring. Queer spirit. Radical Faeries. Laughing. Merry-making. Ecstasy - in the Greek, not psychopharmacological, sense. Used bookstores. Flea markets. Good-hearted souls. Shenanigans. Really good tortillas, mole, Thai and Indian curries. Coffee. Mestizaje. Is there really ever an end to what fascinates us? |
