노을 🌅 is my Korean name. Colloquially it’s “Sunset”. But it’s more specific/more vast. I sent @thegregbradley an interesting article / explanation I’d found. And he sends THIS back. IM IN TEARS. Something so beautiful in the midst of so much background noise, lately. I’ve been overwhelmed and triggered just as my emotional baseline. It’s been hard just to be alive, lately. But THIS. This is so moving and so beautiful and so kind. I feel so SEEN. SO happy there are humans like him in my corner. Thanks Greg. (Ha! He says it’s about how I “take forever to text back but when I do it’s quality”.) Ha. I love you too Gregory. #tribe #findtheothers #family #poetry #sunset #name

Beauties Slay Beasts. #redlightlit #literarycommunity #oaklandpoetry #litfam #beastcrawl2017

TODAY 5PM at @eraartbar I'll be reading with some very special peeps @redlightlit for BEAST CRAWL 2017. You best come thru. I HEAR THEY HAVE AIR CONDITIONING !!! ・・・ I love you with the violence of a brand new consciousness: atoms swarming, babbling incoherent, growing exponentially. Which is to say: I love you like a big fat baby. My love is the spectacle of whole galaxies crashing or the precarious nudge on a planet’s axis. I love you within an inch of disaster. --Photo by Catherine Plato 🎤Listen to Christine read tomorrow at @eraartbar at 5pm🔥#beastcrawl2017 #beastcrawl (at Oakland, California)

Reading at the Berkeley Media Center. Mean mugging racists dressed as poets. 🙄. What is with these old white men who 1. Think they're of the Beat Generation bc they read ("studied with") Corso? What is with the climate today that allows said folks to "joke" about lynching, punching Uber drivers, Nazism...? What are you adding to the conversation? SIT👏🏼DOWN👏🏼BE👏🏼HUMBLE👏🏼. Moving on! Slayers of Supremacy, of Patriarchy, of Hate & Fear. Movers of Love and Song and Lyric -- ToReadah Mikell, @kiddeternity @v.jam.smit @alisonluterman & @supernaz_your_superfriend -- these poets MADE the evening. #litfam #oaklandpoetry #literarycommunity
