ON TOUR THIS FALL

I'll be busy this autumn launching my new book, Poetry After Barbarism: The Invention of Motherless Tongues and Resistance to Fascism, performing poetry and presenting in-progress projects about extraction and waste as well from time to time. Friends, I hope we can come together over this work, which deals with the rise of authoritarianism and how poets and artists reacted on intimate and public levels, through language itself. It's one of the things they can't really take away from us, as they attack education in every form. Sewing my mouth shut, making sure I get every possible infectious disease once controlled by humankind, stealing money from schools and museums, and issuing the most capricious, delusional executive orders will not stop me from writing. Below are cities and dates: please come! Please let me know if you can meet up if we're in one another's cities. And please let me know if you are interested in reviewing, teaching, or otherwise hosting these sentences. This 15-year chunk of blood, sweat and tears is now for sale and freely available to environing air.
