Some Aphorisms

Insomia.  Up at 4:30.  Happy only that I get work done at this hour.  But it’s something.  I haven’t posted on the blog in so long, and soon I’m going to overhaul the website and perhaps remove the blog since most of my day-to-day thoughts of late make their way into the essays I’m publishing […]

Feminism and Me

My Awesome Former Student and Journalism Major, Sydney Maynard, Interviews Me About Feminism I’ve come to notice that a lot of people have different definitions of feminism. What is yours? I’ve never had a particularly complicated definition. I want women and anyone who identifies as a woman to have access to the same rights as […]

Reading and Trying to Read

Short, impressionistic thoughts on the ten or so books I’ve either read or am trying to read this summer.  No particular order here.  I don’t rank.  Wonderland by Stacey D’Erasmo.  Favorite book all summer.  45 year-old-indie former indie darling Anna Brundage attempts a come-back tour.  Will it work?  D’Erasmo creates a totally believable adult woman […]

Blog Tour!

Woah!  Apparently, I’m on a blog tour!  I’ve always dreamed about being part of one of these, and now thanks to my good friend and fellow poet, Nicole Callahan, I am!  Special thanks to Iris Jamahl Dunkle for hosting the tour, and to Zoe Ryder White, who is next up. So maybe you’re old fashioned like me and when […]

Capybaras, a Playlist, and New York

Here are some capybaras kissing to get you through the day.  I think it’s gonna be 40 degrees instead of 28, so there’s that. Also, I made a playlist!  It loosely chronicles some of the passions and obsessions in my new novel, Live at Roseland, which is mostly set in 1990. I’m late to this […]

Skiffs, Sheet Shaking, and Tarot

The holidays over, so I guess that means I can’t eat candy for breakfast anymore.  Sigh. I’ve got a bunch of events in January and February…they’re listed on the events page of this site and I hope you’ll come to one or all.  I’ll read new sad poetry, old Stalker stuff, even newer, dirty, nostalgic, […]

Skiffs and Sheet Shaking

I just ate candy for lunch.  I guess it really is Christmas. I’ve got a bunch of events in January…they’re listed on the events page of this site and I hope you’ll come to one or all.  I’ll read new sad poetry and old Stalker stuff and even newer, dirty, nostalgic, indie rock n’ roll more »

Frances Ha and Middles

Sorry blog, I’ve been ignoring you for a while.  But I do miss you and I’m back! So, like a lot of people, I’m a little obsessed with the new movie, Frances Ha, directed by Noah Baumbach.  I like that it’s about a love affair between two twenty-something best friends, Frances and Sophie–it’s so rare more »

The Clock, the Caravan, and Some Soup Cans

We scored a free museum pass from Malka’s school, so I went to MOMA twice last week.  (Check it, I can get into ANY MUSEUM for free this year with a guest, so you need to go to some of this shit with me!) I spent 2:10 to 3:10 with Christian Marclay’s “Clock.”  When I more »
