I have a new risograph poem available called “Placenta.” The print is a composite of three organic placenta prints made by my doula after the birth of my child earlier this year. Email me if you’d like a print!

Book It! A Zine and Book Arts Exhibit
I had the pleasure of having some of my zines included in the recent book arts exhibit at the Kondos Gallery at Sacramento City College. Curated by Eric Wood and Emily Wilson, the show ran from March 20-April 20, 2023. Below are a couple images of the show.

ASAP 9
Thanks to everyone who came out to our roundtable, “Materiality in Contemporary Art: Compos(t)ing the Past Through the Present,” at ASAP 9 this past weekend in Oakland. We heard from poets, artists, and scholars and their varying methods and views of materiality, form, and contemporary art. I was so impressed by this conference as a whole, and can’t wait to attend again!
