My body of work is deeply multidisciplinary and continuously evolving— this website was created around 2009 (!) when I was beginning my career as an arts journalist and writer/editor (soon to be re-membered poet, performer, and later event curator), and has been the online container for it all ever since.
EVENT ARCHIVE, CURRENT OFFERINGS + UPCOMING:
++ Full event history and upcoming/current offerings are listed HERE.
PERFORMANCE + WRITTEN WORK:
++ You can read (and watch) many selected works HERE; performance/event history is linked above.
Since 2011 I’ve been performing my own poetry and prose work in venues, showcases, and special events both large and small all over Queens and NYC. **My mythic/storytelling work from 2020/2021 onwards is a creature of a different kind and you can find that work HERE.
BOOKS:
++ I’ve self-published four books of poetry and prose.
Decisions We Make While We Dream (2012), TRAVERSALS (2014), WILDLIGHT (2018), and THE BOOK OF LEGEND (2019)
CURATING + HOSTING:
++ Past listing of curated shows is HERE.
Since 2013 I’ve been curating and hosting my own original shows & multi-disciplinary arts events, including: Nature of the Muse, The Wild Papers, the (first ever) Queens Literary Town Hall, Church of the Sacred Body, MASHUPS, How We Create & How We Cope: intersections of art & mental illness, The Widening Circle, UNSTAGED: A playwrighting and performance experiment (co-curated), and A Prayer to See & Be Seen: Creative Reframing for Mental Health. **As mentioned above, mythic/storytelling work since 2020/2021 is designated in its own way and housed HERE. The ‘events’ I continue to facilitate in-person and online are now identified moreso as space-holding and gatherings rather than ‘shows.’ This is all the road that brought me Here and I’m grateful for it.
FULL-LENGTH THEATRE:
++ My first hour-long, written/directed/featured alchemical theatre work, PROVENANCE, debuted at Long Island City Artists (LIC-A)’s Plaxall Gallery in December 2018. More on the show and full video footage is HERE.
“PROVENANCE is the intersection between the journey to love; the journey to self, which is also to god; and the journey to make peace with the darkness. part ritual, part poetry, part music, part movement- it is an exploration of the viscerality of want. how it drives us, transforms us. ‘the wanting creature.’ its connections to love, sex, spirit, and mental illness. and how, if we push far enough- this grief-filled longing becomes ecstatic, transcendent, holy- a means for return to true self, a return to god.”
MIXED MEDIA + INSTALLATION:
++ Info and photos from my (previously) long-running poetry sticker project, mixed media artwork, immersive art installations including THE FIRE ROOM and go slowly, see miracles; and poetry graffiti series and experiments, are HERE.
