I run an occasional book club on Zoom. Sometimes our group is 4 people, sometimes it’s 20. I’m hoping we continue down a path of polyvocal and/or collaborative texts.
FUTURE: For August we’ll read A Black Story May Contain Sensitive Content - Lillian-Yvonne Bertram. We will then be taking a long pause until January 2026.

I’ve led occasional workshops for small groups and instititions, online and in-person, often centered on exploring somatic experience, public space, and collaborative writing modalities. Former clients include The Walker Art Center, Field Experience, and Coffee House Press. I prefer non-insitutional contexts for this type of thing.
