“O sublime twist of this poem”—here are some glimpses from my new long poem called “Sublime curlicue” in this magnificent anthology of poetry from around the world @oomphpress

I am lowkey staggering under everything I am trying to do this summer/fall, but also experiencing massively energizing fulfilment and joy in seeing Hell Light Flesh become Light, for example—a mono-opera adaptation in video form, currently being filmed as directed by @michaelhmori recording by Xavier Madore lighting @saveurclassique soprano Xin Wang guitar @rob_macdonald_guitar composition Jimmie Leblanc
Wait for @thedeangarlick’s photos which will do much more justice to a PERFECT weekend @lievrerouge.ca (blissfully switched off my phone for 48-hours) ❤️❤️❤️
Skin and Meat Sky brings together two long poems with four hand-coloured photographs, both media produced while in residency with @kadiesalmon@canserrat in 2018—this chapbook has been compiled with care and beauty by @poetryisqueer for the @knifeforkbook imprint—it is now for sale through KFB for $15 (link in bio)
Wrapped up Light rehearsals with a selfie—went to Arvo coffee so often that the barista shamed us @michaelhmori@saveurclassique Jimmie Leblanc, Xin Wang, Rob MacDonald, Sara Sabourin
