Where can we read some of your recent work?
My book of poems, Vulgar Mechanics, came out last fall! I was excited to interview Nathanaël for BOMB late last year, and I just finished writing about changing my pen name for the Québec Writers’ Foundation.
What are you reading right now?
I just got into Katharine Coldiron’s Ceremonials, which I’m really enjoying. I recently finished Leland Cheuk’s painfully good comic novel, No Good Very Bad Asian, and War Against All Puerto Ricans, a non-fiction crash course in Puerto Rico’s colonial struggle, written by Nelson Antonio Denis.
What’s next for you?
Getting to work on my second book of poems, a tectonic love triangle involving earthquakes and oil rig workers. That and blogging as the CBC/QWF 2020 Montréal Writer in Residence.
