Well, you have a standing invitation to the ranch. You can look up Girlfarm and see where it is. The owners are queer and run a Hipcamp too, there’s a few tiny homes on the property and the vision long term is to offer retreat to writers and artists.
Dang, I’d love to meet up. I’m currently living on a ranch in the wilds of Nevada, splitting time with Oregon. Do you have any travel to the west coast coming up?
Congratulations on being named a finalist for a Lammy! That’s fantastic. Nice to see you around too! I missed your presence when I left Insta.

September 6th, 6 p.m. at Bellingham’s fabulous Village Books, I’ll be joining the talented author Lyanda Lynn Haupt in conversation about my latest book, Sylvan Crone, and likely our common passions of nature connection, nature writing, and the wonders of birds.

I spent 2024 grieving my father’s death and reflecting on my connection to Nevada.

The year resulted in me making a poetry film that considers how landforms have shaped my story.

It just got selected for the Nature and Culture Poetry Film Festival in Denmark!

Love isn’t what you say, it’s what you do.
A pilot light on five acres in Humboldt County.
I don’t love them either. They are professional stalkers with moderately effective programs.
It is hella smooth. I just got a purple ribbon and that is something else.
