"What Cannot Be Held"
A chapbook! 16 new poems, about queer crip survival right now, in the pandemic and with everything else. Heartache and rage and all the tenderness I could pack in there. Are you lonely? Does your heart hurt? Are you doing your best to survive and care? This is for you.
Available on itch.io for pay-what-you-want, including free. Formats include PDF, printable, and full audio recorded by me.

"In This Time Dilation"
"Time Dilation" was made pre-pandemic for A Singular They about the way chronic pain distorts time and energy. At this time, two years in, participating in the showcase remotely, I wanted to combine its strained isolation with intimacy and longing, their timelines looping and weaving.
So much - my dance practice, life in general - has been like this and is still like this, time on the edge, time rocking on the floor, treasured moments of connection.
Patreon is the best place to support my work on an ongoing basis.

Plus if you back at higher levels, you'll get physical artifacts made in conjunction with shows and publications!
