Academic, writer, activist. I think a lot about language, esp. experimental uses in literature, poetry, performance, & as a research methodology. I’m interested in challenging all our presumptions around fluency, what that means, & why it’s so prized.

This month Trump made English the only official language of the U.S. My book is about the value of multilingual societies, why we should read books we don’t understand, and why queer women writers are leading this movement.
