Readings & Events
Sharing my work and building community is an immensely important part of my practice. One of my favorite things about being a writer is reading my work for others and discovering all the surprising and serendipitous connections that happen from there.
Drawing on my background as a poet and performer, I’ve read and performed at venues and literary event spaces across the country and abroad.
I’ve also spoken and delivered talks on a wide range of topics including transness, poetics, erotics, and craft. Specifically, I’ve talked about:
Western imperialism and the transsexual body
Fable & folklore as a mode of people’s resistance and a tool of oppression
How to move away from writing for the Anthropocene
Contemporary queer literature
I’d be glad to speak on these or any other topics of interest to future collaborators.
