I have a lot of questions these days-- maybe a natural counterbalance to having so much to say for so long. Slowing down to find the Why occupies me right now--and it is important. To an extent. Until the question of Why Not begs itself.

Why don't we have Nude Beaches But 4 Crying?

How am I unlucky? Shouldn't I have reason and proof for that sort of thing?

My project at IN THE SOIL is a culmination of ideas, expressed in poems and video. My interest in Luck follows me from my work at last year's festival where I am now collecting stories from others about their experiences re: the randomness (or maybe not) of their luck!

Audience Participation (Lite)

I am processing through poetry. I am curious about pattern and consequence, documenting the moment and cross-checking my records with history. Simplicity is important to me. I communicate plainly because I am speaking in feelings. The power of plainness is undeniable. It has served me well in bridging gaps across lines of difference. In this moment, I am driven by a longing to connect; to my roots, my family, my friends, my environment, my body.
