I wanted to say thank you to @chapp010.bsky.social for inviting me to speak to your creative writing students at Oxbridge again this summer. I feel deeply grateful for the opportunity to connect with these minds of the future. I only hope that I inspire them half as much as they inspire me. 🙏

Thank you so much! 🙏🥰

As of today, it's 15 years since my last sip of alcohol, and I'm still increasingly happy with that decision.

This month I'll be returning to Swerve Magazine in Skibbereen Ireland, where I was in residence last year, writing a Bespoke Book in the days after the US election. In honor of my upcoming return, I thought I'd share the reading of that book: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdxt...

This is my performance from the Antidote du Lot festival! I was in residence at the Magic Farm for two weeks, sitting on a bale of hay writing one of my Bespoke Books in public view. Then at the finissage event, I got up on the bale and read it aloud: (vostfr) www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkDF3aPA-A8
