On December 19th from 8pm – 9:30pm, “Art Night Schenectady” will be hosting numerous poets at The Armory Studios – 125 Washington Ave. Schenectady, NY 12305. I will be reading new work from an upcoming collection of sonnets to be published in late 2026. I hope to see all you Beatniks there!

Drag poems, “Copper Pipes” & “Afterlife,” included in the new print collection by Love Love Magazine. Including works by Gerard Malanga, Peter Doherty, Charles Plymell, Tess Parks, Anne Waldman, Thurston Moore, Sharen Van Etten, and many more! Opening release reading in NYC has come and gone, but more events to come. Stay tuned!

The beautiful Parisian magazine ‘Love Love’ is up for pre-sale, and will include a few Drag poems alongside works by Gerard Malanga, Peter Doherty, Lisa Marie Jarlborn, Tess Parks, Sharon Van Etten, Jonathan Richman, & more. Dig!
