Please Excuse These Rags I'm In
The folks over at Rogue Agent have put together an amazing issue of work by queer people and people of color. The poems and art in Don't Erase Us resist violence against queer, black, and brown bodies. Thanks to Jill Khoury and Jen Stein for putting together such a necessary collection and for including my work in it. And if you, Goodreader, are a poet or artist who explores race, gender, sexuality, body image, dis/ability, or any other subject matter that deals with the body, please consider sending your work to Rogue Agent. They're good people.
And, on another note: This weekend is Wordstock, Portland's Book Festival. Chances are, if you're in the area, you've probably heard about all the phenomenal authors who will be on-stage. I'm particularly looking forward to Colson Whitehead's discussion with Yaa Gyasi about the legacy of slavery in the U.S., as well as a panel on poetry and the personal with Brenda Shaughnessy, Melissa Broder, and Jennifer Grotz. And, of course, Carrie Brownstein, because Sleater-Kinney will always occupy a little nook in my punk-rock heart. If you'll be at Wordstock and want a break from the big events, I'll be performing a pop-up reading as part of the festival at 10:15am. You can find me in the European Art gallery of the Portland Art Museum, next to the painting of Saint Mary Magdalene by Giampietrino. Wander through the gallery, stop to listen, and stick around to talk and ask questions about ointment jars and female saints. (I can promise great stories about the latter... Perhaps not so much about the former.)
