Hi friends, it’s been a minute! Since we last talked, I went to the Bradford Literary Festival in the UK this past summer to perform for students, teach workshops to middle school kids and the festival participants, and share my thoughts on genocide and mysticism. I met so many incredible writers and friends from around the world, and even got to travel to the Scottish Highlands.

I also wrote a ghazal that was published by The Harpoon Review. You can check it out here.
