I'm extremely excited to announce that I am working on a book and hope to publish it soon!!! Here's the cover (click to enlarge, it looks better that way).
"Everyone I've Loved" is about embracing queerness, questioning heteromonogamy, and knowing the boundaries
and limits of loves that transform. It began one important, clear-skied night on a
swing set in Portland, Oregon. I put on my headphones and, after a
few quiet swings to ambient tunes, put on Red by Taylor Swift. I soon
found myself flying through the dark air and SCREAMING along to the
album. I knew all the words without realizing it. I totally fucking
loved it. And for the first time, I noticed that each song
corresponded deeply to someone I have loved. I spent an hour
swinging, shout-singing, and shuffling through the songs, trying to
figure out which love corresponded to which song. It was amazing to
me to have tangible way to see who I had cared for and held in my
life, and how. I suddenly saw a clear roster of people who had played
defining roles in my life, and who I continue to care for. It felt
incredible to realize how important these people are. It was so
powerful to view these defined, contiguous relationships as
continually evolving forces in my life rather than failed romances.
It was the most surrounded
and held I had ever felt while alone.

Read the rest (and look at all the pictures) when it comes out!!!
