(so happy to share this honor with many dear friends this year)

Well, like everyone else, I'm kinda on hiatus in terms of live gigs. 

I've opted out from doing improvisational sound poetry live until I'm in the room with others, in the same air. 

I consider my sound poetry to be collaborations with the audience. 

So writing, teaching, some miscellaneous virtual conferencing, like everyone else. Also being grateful for anything and everything good in the world when so many have needlessly lost so much. 

I hope that, if you're reading this, you and yours are doing okay. 

We'll get through this, as my elders used to say: "God willing and the creek don't rise. " 

(and if the creek *does* rise, I hope we still get through).
