This Saturday night @salon-salvage.bsky.social!
Salvage 30: art by Judith Braun, translation of the historical moment @mayadamayadamay.bsky.social, the poetry of family from Maggie Greaves - @matthewklane.bsky.social remembering Pierre Joris & his massive presence locally
Alert yr iCals!
It’s mostly just a mood haha. But I was picking songs for something called Fantasy Music League that I’ve been entangled into over the past week. And the current category is protest songs. I can’t yet divulge my selections. Top secret!
Rocking out this morning to an anti-fascist playlist on Spotify.
👀
Handing out business cards to people in my dreams.
The next @salon-salvage.bsky.social will be on Saturday night, March 29th, 7pm, at Upstairs Arts Collective in Troy, NY, and will feature Judith Braun, Maggie Greaves, and Mayada Ibrahim. See y’all soon!

The first video (of the first track) from my new record is now online. Here’s “Concrete” directed by old friend and incredible filmmaker, Scott Puccio. ❤️🎺💀❤️
“Signs of Life,” the last track on my new record, Too Little Too Late. Wrote this one for y’all.
Track 11, “Mere Fact,” on my new record, Too Little Too Late. It’ll make your eyeballs go blueberry.
Track 10, “Tightwad,” on my new record, Too Little Too Late. Featuring my original collage, m “Bud” (poor li’l guy, tryin’ his best out here, putting on his best face).
In a couple weeks Salvage 29, another in the multimedia installments @alexachang2000.bsky.social @tylerbartonlol.bsky.social Miriam Atkin & Betsy Fagin ⚪⚪⚪
Track 9, “It’s Gonna Get Worse,” on my new album, Too Little Too Late. Written November 2023, but just gets better and better. Might never go out of style! Back up vocals by the great Girl Blue.
Thinking about the perfect reading at the showcase for Winter Editions authors Alan Gilbert, Karla Kelsey, Monica McClure, and Robert Fitterman at last month's Salvage ✨✨
Snowy day here in the Capital Region. Perfect for posting this new @salon-salvage.bsky.social flier! We’ll be back on Saturday night, February 22nd, with Miriam Atkin, @tylerbartonlol.bsky.social and Betsy Fagin, as well as improvisational harpist @alexachang2000.bsky.social. See y’all soon! ❤️

Fun/weird time last night in the new back room @ Weathered Wood in Troy that - for now at least - is lined with pews. I read from my new book w/ Ryan Skrabalak alongside sound artists Ceremonial Abyss, Snark, and Drow. Abyss is currently performing w/ poets all around the northeast. Check him out!
✨ NEW BOOK ✨ in the world, Of the Day, via Publication Studio, combines three of my daily practice serial projects from the last 15 years: Of the Day, Chimes, and Rending Stories. Front and back cover (pictured) feature two of my original analog collages.
