So I started a podcast with my friend Marie. We’ve both wanted to do a podcast and decided to team up. We’ve done two episodes so far and it’s been a fun experience. The podcast is called DOOMERS and we talk about movies and music and basically whatever we want to talk about, keeping it light and jovial despite the name.
You can watch episode one here and episode two here. Let me know what you think!
Some other cool news is for the first time in over a year, I will be attending and performing at a poetry reading! This Saturday at 6pm at the Cascades in Joaquin Miller Park in Oakland, MoondDrop Productions presents MoonDrop Solstice, a live reading featuring writers who released new books during the quarantine.
I had the unfortunate timing of releasing my “triggering as f*ck” A Place A Feeling Something He Said To You right before lockdown and all of the events I had planned to promote the book had to be canceled or severely postponed. Other writers including Yodassa Williams, Peggy Morrison, Josiah Luis Alderete, Sara Biel, Paul Corman-Roberts, Richard Loranger, Colleen McKee, Dena Rod, Tureeda Mikell, and Christine No experienced the same thing with their 2020 books, and so we will be sharing the evening to celebrate the summer solstice and officially bring our projects out into the world in person. I’m looking forward to it and hope you can make it.
Joaquin Miller Park is a beautiful place I had only first visited a couple months ago, I had no idea it existed. If you live in the Bay Area and can’t make it for this event (which, come on, just come through, you know you want to see people!), then I highly recommend putting on some hiking boots and taking a trek around the park to get some fresh air. The Cascades (where the reading will take place) is accessible from Joaquin Miller Road, so you don’t need to hike if you come for the reading!
