One of our ANMLY comrades told me they can't continue reading because they lost their housing. If the work at ANMLY has ever meant anything to you, or if the work that I have ever done in any capacity has ever meant anything to you, please consider helping them stay safe. gofund.me/0e09177d

From Kaveh Akbar's book, Calling a Wolf a Wolf. #poem #books #writing

A decade ago, I went on book tour with Sybil Lamb. We did 32 cities across the US/Canada, read with dozens of writers and met hundreds of people. So many of them are now dead. All of them are transsexuals. The oldest didn't make it to 50. I say this because I want you to live and I'm going to too.

hard time to be so bipolar!!

trying to write an essay about speech + silence as twin pillars of a spiritual life--how to engage w the soul/self, how to engage w the world/others/context; the tricky part is talking about divinity when my sense of the divine is so unsettled

Poem I wrote last spring, which I've been thinking about again lately, published in The Q&A Queerzine: theqandaqueerzine.com/this-is-not-...

all my poems lately are either “I want to fuck god” or “I’m breaking up with god”

new call for work over at ANMLY!

For my first Christian poetry book I had every poem carefully checked for heresy by a priest, and I still got loads of shit for being queer affirming - so for my most recent one I wrote a poem about lesbian saints fucking in the desert. Because why not?
