POETRY

PROSE
Liam Kofi Bright and I have written a few informal pieces addressing our shared interest in classical Chinese philosophy. Our first, Zhengming (hosted at Liam's blog, The Sooty Empiric), considers similarities between Xunzi's conception of the rectification of names and the logical empiricist project of designing conceptual frameworks.
Our second collaboration, Free and Easy Conversing is a dialogue on the happy fish passage from chapter 17 of the Zhuangzi. It is one of my favorite things I have ever written, and exists in two versions, with alternate endings. You can read both versions in the linked PDF.
I have also written a short piece, The Frailty of Merit, exploring the complex way in which Vergil treats merit and meritocracy in The Aeneid, a book very dear to my heart.
As various readily detectable features of this website make clear, I am a trans woman. I am currently working on an informal essay interpreting my relationship to gender through two philosophers whose work has been foundational in my attempts to come to know myself: Ralph Waldo Emerson and Zhuangzi. I look forward to sharing that essay when it is ready. :)

In anticipation of its publication, I am making available two chapbook-length works, both contemporaneous with the poems of The Equalizing Jokebook:
- Eclogues: a sequence of thirteen poems that tell a love story, of sorts [link]
- Silence: a collection of "fragments", strung together into a single poem [link]
