NONFICTION IN-PROGRESS (BOOK)
I’m currently at work on Pocket Truth Commission: Remedy Stories, a nonfiction book that combines memoir and research, proposing a transitional-justice approach to racism and political polarization. You can read more about it here.
RECENT PARTICIPATORY ART
“Help Wanted: Problem Creator” in the Baltimore Sun’s job ads, and available on LinkedIn.
The project is ongoing; I have so far received about 50 applications, and you can apply by responding to translucency [at} gmail.com. You can listen to the poem here.
I had two poems in Elissa Blount Moorhead’s “As of a Now” Light City installation, which you can read about here.
And I’m excited to have work in Ada Pinkston and Kalima Young’s “Critical Confabulations” public art collaboration, part of their Invisible Architectures project.
