oberlin will always be with me, as it was the site of my chapbook launch. i’ll probably never perform in front of a crowd as “diverse” in every sense of the word as the one at the launch performance. thanks, oberlin, for all of the love and support. i’ll be performing new pieces at these open mics (rock out with no apologies!) and may even upload videos afterwards.

last night, Yellow Rage performed at the Cat in the Cream. it was exactly what my soul needed. although, wish i could’ve engaged with them more. but i didn’t know what to say. “hey, i write poetry too. you want my chapbook?” or “i want to be you, but not. well, really, the next generation of yellow rage, or something like that.” haha. that would’ve been awkward. anyway, check out the pics from the night.


“i’m a woman not a flavor” (got myself a tshirt, yeahhh)

check out the hot silkscreens!

fierce.

silly picture.

what a great way to begin this blog. so i’m thinking i’ll post poetry and prose and videos of performances and pictures relating to my attempts at being a spoken word artist, whatever that means. and you lucky people get it for free!
