Cemeteries and Stories This Week

This week I’ve got four events to which I’d like to invite you, even if you’re outside of California. First off, on Tuesday, October 22, I’ll be in conversation with Josh Wilson, editor of The Fabulist, talking about cemeteries as a mirror of the societies around them. We’ll explore history and talk about the future. You can join us in person at Green Apple on the Park in San Francisco or watch…

The first LitCrawl in Merced, CA, happens this Friday, May 9th, 2025. I will recite my poems with poets I've never shared the stage with  -- including Merced's first Poet Laureate Joyce Dale, California Poet Laureate Lee Herrick, and Patricia Ann Zamora. Yes, PAZ, the love of my life, who writes but does not make appearances. She grew up in Livingston, Merced County, and I grew up in San Francisco. We now live in both towns. Lots of firsts and connections this Friday.

Looking forward to hearing the entire lineup:  Angela Drew, Christina Lux, Mai-Linh Hong, Tanisha McClain, Orlando Taylor, Juan Luzuriaga, Marcy Poe Martinez, Vielka Solano, Shani Campbell, Necola Adams, Elizabeth McMunn-Tetangco, Sherre Vernon, and Robin Shepard. Thanks, Kim McMillon, for your curatorial powers. I may debut one of my in-progress SF/Valley poems.

07.12.23 when i$ it enough?

got the rare 10 hours of sleep in a night;;;;;; body rly needed it

⭐ bb mag is gonna be at litcrawl! <3

📅 this week i’ve been trying to make an effort to calendar in everything that i see/want to attend as i see them so i don’t have to scramble to regather them -- i hope it pans out ok! so many parallel worlds i care for and hope i can be present for/participate in -- it feels like my calendar is my compass as of late

🤧 queasy, hunkered in my room, shuffled papers around; hope it can be a place where i can work more consistently (it is quite small/cramped, so often i work outside of it); grateful for abalone porridge; gimbap; my emotional support korean grocery store (that is also the perfect walk away)

from @/woffsilog on insta: “you are here awake and alive” / “here i am what were you other two wishes”

how does someone know when it is enough? when to stop one thing in order to be able to start another? 

kundera passed, wishing i could reach for my copy of the art of the novel if i knew where it was; thinking of all the gems of his that have shaped this foray into fiction

thinking about 3d printing a hallow pigeon in an attempt to make a DIY pigeon clutch

took a quick half hour to take out the trash / cardboard boxes, handwashing dishes, thinking about thich that hanh/the fullness of time 

2nd chat w financial advisor (who is awesome, holistic, and i’d love to introduce you to if you’re looking for one); flashing back to not being even 20 and having the faintest notion of compounding interest, the want to be okay into the future / time as one of the most precious resources young people have;

in the past, there were so many ways money was a medium of control/anxiety (which i primarily saw within my family); in the recent present, a deep sense of okayness nourished by communal care / webs of support, a deep sense of reassurance that i have what i need and then some, that most of my material needs are cared for, the vague sense of worry i feel about the more distant future

grateful for my relative financial okay-ness which is to say great comparative luck (minimal debt, savings, and then some)

it feels contrived to continue to bring it up but i want to remind myself that being even adjacent to tech affords a kind of fluidity/autonomy that i don’t want to take for granted / financial sustainability is often so top of mind for folks figuring out their creative practices and i wanna be open about how that has been for me so far (which is, luckily stumble into an industry with some nicely paying internships + low-cost housing + a generous undergrad scholarship + relative health of myself & of family)

want to spend time looking at https://thehellyeahgroup.com/ and https://www.ridefreefearlessmoney.com/ (via x) to be more candid about this

wanna message rb about ursula k le guin (just got a poetry book in sonoma); looking forward to b4b3l4b / prose n pals; feel like there is a whole world that i’m looking forward to meeting, did not know i could be one of those people with schedules packed with thigns i’m looking forward to 

“are you on the welly” “not even on the welly” brain was buzzing with some zingers; remembering the joy of the past weekend! (so much more to say there, gloriously fluffy dandelions and lavender, a lovely bookshop, +++)

idyllwild planning in prog --!! 10 person tent arrived !!!
