Remembering David Berman

2/7/2020

 
Picture
The February issue of The Believer has a new interview with David Berman, one which took place over email over several months. To go alongside of this, The Believer ran some brief remembrances. I was honored to be included alongside of several friends, including Jeff T. Johnson, Becca Klaver, Jaime Fountaine, and Sadie Dupuis. You can read them here. Huge thanks to Niela Orr for putting this together.

Tribute to David Berman

1/2/2020

 
Picture
I'm honored to be among the poets and musicians paying tribute to David Berman this weekend at World Cafe Live. I got to see Berman read his poetry back in 2005, and saw the Silver Jews in 2006 or 2007. I had tickets to see Purple Mountains just days after the sad news of his death arrived. This was a really tragic loss felt deeply among my friends and community. I am glad that people are coming together here in Philly (and other places too) to celebrate the incredible work he created. A huge thanks to Sadie Dupuis for putting this together! Get tickets here.

Dan Farnum's Young Blood

10/23/2019

 
I had the immense honor of writing a poem for the introduction to Dan Farnum's Young Blood: Growing Up in Michigan's Auto Towns. Dan and I have known each other since pre-school, and it has been really great to see how my poetry and his photography have developed over the years with similar interests, which makes sense since we grew up a few blocks from each other and experienced a lot of the same things. It's a really beautiful collection of photographs that Dan worked on for over ten years. Young Blood is now available for purchase from Aint-Bad Books.

Review of Marion Bell's Austerity

6/18/2019

 
Picture
I recently reviewed Marion Bell's Austerity (Radiator Press, 2019) for Hyperallergic. From the intro:

In her poem “Austerity,” Marion Bell writes that it’s easy to get radicalized just by paying attention to experience. In her debut collection of poetry under the same title, she shares what those experiences are. Comprised of fragments, dreams, journal entries, and notes from friends, Austerity is a glimpse into a few years of the author’s life. Bell explores large ideas — capitalism, queer liberation, radical friendship, and community — in a deeply human and personal way, endeavoring to live a meaningful life in this stage of late capitalism.

​Read the review here.
