I’m going to be showing a series of chlorophyll prints and digital prints with artist Megan Bent at VALA Eastside in Redmond. The exhibition opens on September 8, and the artists reception will take place on September 9 from 4-6 p.m. The show will come down on September 24 and will be on view Fridays-Sundays from 12-6 p.m. We spent Friday night framing and fabricating boxes and installed for 4 hours on Saturday. Please come out and support our work!

I’ll be working a poetry embroidery booth at So Bazaar in Redmond on Thursday night from 5-9 pm. A collaborative embroidery piece with Maura Donegan will be on display and we’ll be showing folks how to embroider textual fragments that I curated out from Redmond’s Inclusion Resolution and poems by Langston Hughes, Stacey-Ann Chin and others on the theme of inclusion.

I’ve been learning how to make chlorophyll prints using the basics of sunshine and nature.

I’ll be performing in the Poets in the Park Festival in Redmond on July 15 at 2:30 pm. I commissioned songs from Tomo Nakayama and Tom Rorem and we will perform them. Drop by Anderson Park at 7802 168th Ave NE.

Not sure when I was added to their database, but I now have a profile page at the Poetry Foundation website.

Thanks to Seattle Theatre Works and Fox Rain Matthews for this short feature interview.

I was commissioned to write a poem based on the work of artist Michelle de la Vega for this program. Performances upcoming next week.

Abby Ronner wrote up a quick piece on my work for the Creators channel at Vice Magazine.

Thanks to Tod Marshall for including me in his Washington State anthology of poetry WA129.

Poets & Writers funded a couple of readings that I did in the Seattle area this spring and asked me to blog about the experiences.
