Kate and I spent some time gardening today, or, more specifically, preparing the garden. The New Hampshire weather has been strangely cool throughout May, so while we’re planting later than we’d planned to, we’re not late going by the actual conditions.

The book tour for these are the waterfalls in my head has begun in earnest, with featured performances bookending the month – the Boston Poetry Slam earlier in May and closing it out with The Dirty Gerund.

The works in the hip hop manuscript are starting to see daylight. An essay for Lil Nas X is live at Pinch after being a finalist for the Page Prize for Nonfiction. A form I invented myself, the moving target, got a poem for Brother D into the current issue of Rattle (out now). And The Rumpus published a dictionary entry for Thavius Beck and a sudo-ku for the rappers on “Immigrants (We Get the Job Done)” off The Hamilton Mixtape.

Hoping for a productive summer.
