                                               Nothing has boundaries

in the ways I’m willing to worship. Who cares for baptism

                                when the body

is excess holiness                waiting to combust.

— Roy G. Guzmán, from “Marrow,” Catrachos

[bibliomancyoracle]

Too many mouths open          The priest just said it          (a hawk on his arm)

Our bodies contain elements of outer space. So that when we’re naked we are gazing at the universe.

My contributor copy of Pulse/Pulso: In Remembrance of Orlando arrived last week and I’ve been struggling to find the words to express what this anthology means to me. I am just so moved to be a part of this act of remembering and mourning and naming and listening and trying and again. 

My thanks and love to editors Roy G. Guzmán and Miguel M. Morales for all your vision and labor. And many thanks to Caseyrenée Lopez, the publisher at Damaged Goods Press, for all the care poured into this project and for making sure that I got this beautiful contributor’s copy. 

Photos: (1) Cover, with flowers (2) Dedication to the 49 people killed at Pulse nightclub on June 12, 2016—with the names and ages of each person (3) My poem, “Things the Crows Bring” (4) The editors’ foreword, including an important critique of the publishing and academic structures that put up classist, racist, and elitist roadblocks in this anthology’s journey to publication (5) Ahh the perfect wrapping paper that my contributor copy came in! Unicorns with rainbow hair, some of them resting on blue clouds, some of them walking among sparkly stars, moons, and hearts— 

Please consider getting a copy of Pulse/Pulso: In Remembrance of Orlando directly from Damaged Goods Press, a publisher committed to supporting queer & trans writers. All proceeds will be donated to QTPOC organizations.
