  • Opening night at Flyleaf Books

    Thursday, May 12th, my dear friend and co-conspirator Molly McGinn and I, trundled off to Chapel Hill, where we read Sugar and played soulful tunes for a nice group of old friends. Honestly, it was so great to see and TOUCH everybody. Appropriately. With consent.

  • Queer Alchemy–Being a Writer in Troubling Times

    Recently I was privileged to speak at the Sounds of Change Youth Project, a week-long workshop on spoken word for people aged 14-19. that happened at the LGBTQ Center of Durham. Below is a video of my talk, the central theme being about how critical community is to the creation of work!

  • A Tide of Horror, and some Good News.

    There’s an op-ed in the Huffington Post today that expressed the horror in Charlottesville, Virginia succinctly: White Supremacy is Demonic. I’m not Christian nor do I have time for the Devil. There is something absolutely demonic, however, in seeing the rotten spawn of Nazi Germany, the confederacy, slavery, et al, be so emboldened and so…

    Transgress Press-mate Lei Ming Wins Lambda Literary Nomination (and I’m still cute)

    Touring mate, and Transgress Press brother Lei Ming (and sister Lura Frazey,) took the nomination win at the 2017 Lambda Literary Awards in Transgender Non-Fiction for “Life Beyond My Body: A Transgender Journey to Manhood in China.” If it couldn’t be me, I’m so glad it was Ray (Lei Ming). His story is remarkable, and…

  • Unabashedly, Gleefully Queer: Sammy at the Lammies!

    Tig Notaro! Cynthia Nixon! Jeanette Winterson! Eileen Myles! Taylor Mac! Justin Vivian Bond! The presenters and attendees are a star-studded batch of LGBTQ goodness, suggesting, as the Guardian says, that this award ceremony is “unabashedly, gleefully queer…” As the day draws near, I confess: what had been a rather lackluster attempt at excitement for the Lambda…

  • Awe in Austin, Asheville Panache

    I had the great fortune of reading at Bookwoman in Austin recently, with my labelmate Paige Schilt. Her memoir, Queer Rock Love, is a paige-turner (see what I did there). I burned through my copy, eager to see where this engaging trio of big-soul’d weirdos would go next. The similarities between our books are that…

  • The Writer Who Reads

    Me, Molly McGinn, and Sam Frazier–we had a warm and wonderous time at the Durham LGBTQ Center, reading and singing for an incredibly receptive crowd. We had terrific representation from LaVare’s House, a private halfway house for LGBTQ folks in recovery, and from North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition, who dispensed naloxone and wisdom. I’d like…
