My new book The Holy Ghost Lives In Her Laugh is now available for pre-order via @KithBooks
A love letter to grief, to my mother, to survival—and to the versions of us still learning how to live.
Pre-orders matter more than you know:

Did you know that five Asian Pacific projects released this weekend? 👀
From Peyton Elizabeth Lee and Maya Erskine inhabiting a stop-motion animated world to Taika Waititi adapting a Kazuo Ishiguro novel, this weekend offers new creative visions from phenomenal Gold talent.

I think this Venus retrograde really put a lot of things into perspective for me. Unfortunately, a lot of people do NOT pour into me like I pour into them. And I will no longer stay in connections where I am undervalued and unappreciated.

more reading, more praying, more silence, more dancing, more laughing, more barefoot walks on earth, more stargazing, more moon bathing, more tuning into the higher self.

I thought poetry could change everything, could change history and could humanize, and I think that the illusion is very necessary to push poets to be involved and to believe, but now I think that poetry changes only the poet.

Pluto Retrograde ends and you realize

I’m proud to announce my second book, SPAGHETTI JUNCTION: ESSAYS FROM A TANGLED LIFE, a memoir I wrote about the most life-changing moments of my 20s and early 30s. This is the most personal tale I’ve ever told, and I’m so excited to share it with you next summer, May 4, 2027.
