Readings, presentations, and interviews
In winter 2023, I was pinged on Instagram about doing an interview for the HiTOPS Trans Youth Forum, an annual one-day online conference produced by and for trans youth. I spoke with the youth coordinator and three members of the youth advisory board in early February. They then had the unenviable task of boiling down a half-hour plus conversation to five minutes for the conference, which was held on March 25, and managed it, I think, very well. The only down side of the experience: I am now officially an "elder." (NB: The link is no longer active.)

The audio (with added images) of a reading I did as part of Pittsburgh's Hemingway's Poetry Series at White Whale Bookstore, July 26, 2022. (I can tell from the way my voice swoops occasionally in the first few minutes how amped up I was that night.) Clicking on the image will take you to the video.
Highlights from a reading I did with poet Reymond Drew at Riverstone Books in Pittsburgh, May 26, 2022. Video recordings by Jett Downey. Clicking on the image will take you to the video.

A conversation about art
My brother Bill and I talk about art (his and mine), memory, family, felonious mongooses, and other things. See also the video for "i, scattered" above, a poem based on one of Bill's drawings, and the link to the poem itself under the "Publications" tab. (Clicking on the image below will take you to the video.)

Adobe and Teardrops, episode 177: Interview (June 25, 2021)
A Pride month conversation with my friend and fellow Haverford alum Rachel Cholst for her fine, long-running podcast about music and our different experiences growing up (let's just say I'm old enough to be her mother). The focus of Adobe and Teardrops is on queer country and Americana artists, and the earlier episodes I've listened to are all informative as well as fun—definitely worth your time if you're a music fan and/or are interested in learning how young artists are queering the genre that brought the world "Okeh from Muskogee" and Hee-Haw.
Breached, episode 2: "Dissent" (February 28, 2018)
Breached was presented in ten episodes over the winter and spring of 2018. Each episode focuses on a different issue traditionally framed as an essential element of the American social contract, and explores ways in which that contract seems to have broken down. (I've borrowed language from their site for this summary.) Yours truly made a small but not negligible contribution to the second episode—appropriate given the stature of the other contributors.
