East side of the Berlin Wall, art from 1990/2009.
Visiting my sister in Berlin, where she’s living her best life of strange art, good food, and a perfect apartment. It is good to be here. And It’s been a week of learning, contemplating, being with the history of this city, the history of our world and the ways it is recreating, continuing.
We brought in the new year hiking through the forest, the glowing snow guiding us all to the river. Also, I learned how to knit 🧶 I am here for the hygge! ♥️ love to our incredible friends, family & community who welcomed us home with open arms, this year. Thank you for reminding us you can do it alone, but you don’t have to. 🌙
From POSTCARDS FOR MY SISTER, accompanied by Charles Spearin. A huge thank you to Jason Collet for having me perform at the Basement Review on Boxing Day and inviting us to collaborate. We met for the first time and began creating this at sound check! Shout out to my amazing publisher @bookhug_press, and Another huge thank you to Charles Spearin for creating this incredible music. It was a dream. And finally, to @cbcbooks for bringing this poem forward in the world in 2017.
Happy Solstice! Fire sculpture in heart of the city, surrounded by giant puppets, sure is a way to light up the longest night. 🔥
