I am participating in Arts Week at the Sou’wester, spending a week staying on the coast and working on Megathrust, a new poetry comic. I’ll be reading from Megathrust at the Main Lodge at 3:00 PM on Saturday, March 15 as part of the culminating weekend celebration.

About Arts Week 2025:

Every March, the Sou’wester hosts over 30 artists and collectives for a weeklong residency, culminating in a weekend of performances, installations, and studio tours — free and open to the public. This annual celebration invites the community to engage with the creative process and connect with artists who bring a new light to the evergreen coast. 

I’ll be reading poetry comics at the year’s first installment of Public Nature on February 27th at FLOCK Dance Center (2516 NW 29th Ave, #60) in Portland. Doors at 7pm, show at 7:30, donations accepted at the door! Also performing: Katherine Longstreth (dance/movement), and an additional sound artist (TBA). More details below.

Public Nature is a performance series started by JP Jenkins and Danielle Ross and currently run by Ross. Occurring monthly in roaming venues, it includes artists working across disciplines including dance, experimental performance, sound, and text. Meant to stay on the move in terms of place and people, Public Nature aims to bridge disciplinary communities, foster a scrappy, head first approach to performance, and allow for a risk-friendly space for artists to show improvised or in-process work.

Friday August 16th, we are celebrating the ONE year anniversary of Lost Avenue Books.

From 6:00pm-9:00pm, at Lost Ave, there will be art, live music, local writers reading original works, and giveaways.

I will be reading poetry comics from Metamorphic Door! Also reading will be Jam Dyer, Stephen Pellnat, and Cameron McCafferty.
