Ordered 100 custom postcards of this photograph I took in high school to send to poetry lovers who donate a measley $5 to my Indiegogo campaign. Each one will have a unique poem on it written just for you! If you want some snail mail love, you can donate here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/writing-letters-to-trees/x/2982979
My fabulous friends at the Boston Poetry Slam put together a benefit to help get me to the Tin House workshop.
Queer friendly open mic, followed by featured performances by Sean Patrick Mulroy, Sam Teitel, Cassandra de Alba, Sophia Holtz, and yours truly. There will also be a limited edition chapbook featuring new poems from the five of us for sale. Come out to Fazenda Coffee Roasters in Forest Hills on 5/30 at 6:30! $4 suggested donation.
I’ll be hawking my wares and giving free hugs. I wanna see you there!
Inheritance
I tried on Mom’s gown at fifteen; already
too small to zip past my hips. Paint it
red. Dining room birds of paradise. Cocktail
shrimp. Hawk’s tail. Brick or birth or a pick-up
you used to drive that we kept keys for. Paint it that living
color I see at “swelling”,…
Three poems of mine at Wicked Alice today. All smiles.
I applied for three restaurant jobs today and set up a tour at another beauty school for this Saturday morning. I’m looking for an inexpensive bike that might carry me from JP (Narnia) to one of my many destinations this summer and I think my friend Anastasia has the perfect one for sale. I’m in the market for a new bed, which really means a bigger version of the bed I had in Providence, and I found out that my full sized bed was somehow ten inches shorter than the queen sized version of the same on the IKEA website.
I am giving two haircuts after work and then meeting Bob at Charlie’s, because I have already done too many responsible things today and I need to remember that flux if temporary at best. Soon I will buy a wing chair and a collection of beautiful area rugs and my room will be a museum of all of the things I fall in love with layered over and over each other like an onion growing larger and larger but never pulled out of the ground.

loving issue 9 of ILK, especially Emily O’Neill’s poem, Wedding Soup.
“In an instant, in the kitchen,
we are girls again: snow-damp,
wilted. I am cherry-stained
teeth. You are
the absence of yes.”Read her lovely work in its entirety, here:
Thank you for reading, love.
Wasn’t flinching or furnace. Not mist
or down, not soft enough to settle on.
You were a nymph and I was an echo.
You, a letter and I, the lipstick.
I waited for you in the wrong skin.
The suitor: stuttering,
unsuitable.
