Hi.
I’m not really using this space—just holding the place—now. I’ve exported everything and am working on adding it all to my website. It will eventually be available, or some of it will be, there. Most things are gone from here now.
Some of it is in Abundant Number, which means it’s in some of your hands.
Some of it is just gone; things are like that.
I’m not here because Marc Andreessen is. I’m trying to be in places High-Status Individuals wouldn’t deign to spend their time, both online and in life. Here’s one way to think about that, a beautiful cover of Malvina Reynolds’ “I Don’t Mind Failing” by Olympia Trout Patrol. I’m trying out Pixelfed, because despite my secret, now decade-long (!) project of posting 10,000 photos and then deleting them all on Instagram, I don’t love the company there, either. I only made it to 9,000 and change.
I’m in the world.
I’ll be in Minnesota in March, teaching a one-day workshop at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts. The workshop combines poetry and printmaking and public art and collaboration, and if you’re in the Twin Cities (or nearby) and that piques your interest, here’s more information. Registration is open!
If you are elsewhere and would like such a workshop to happen near you—in your kitchen, in your library, in your community organization, in your university, in your high school—then you should get in touch via this form.
And, finally, some book news. Carcanet Press in the UK will publish Pattern-book, my fourth collection, in May 2025. And Milkweed Editions, who have published all of my other books, will publish Pink Theory! in 2026. I’ll send a note here when I have pre-publication discount information/etc. The beautiful cover is the work of Andrew Latimer.
I hope you are well.
My solidarities, as ever, lie with the living and their precious dead, with the force that through the green shoot drives the flower, with water and against oil, and with the meek, whom that dissident carpenter once called blessed.
Thank you for this timely reminder of what matters. I so enjoyed the workshop in rural Belgium.
