    Happy New Year, everyone! Here’s a poem, published by last year, I wrote for 2019. As we step intentionally into our futures this year, I think it’s equally important we regard the histories and History that have brought us here, that still have dark impact. ✨

    An evening with Terrance Hayes and yours truly. Thursday, January 24th. 7pm. Heinz Chapel. Come out and hear some of things I’ve been thinking and writing through—penetration, eros vs ecstasy, and an adamant need to reclaim pleasure in the black body—these last almost two years.
