I haven't been mingling much these days, I know. I want to try to explain it by getting into my negativity and cynicism, but I know that such talk only serves to bring us down and I am trying to fight those feelings as many of you are. I am not sure why I succumbed and tripped so much this year on my doubts, why I became so oblivious to the hopeful things, the magical things, that happen in spite of it all. It's like I got to a point where I was looking for reasons to feel hopeless- and you know it doesn't take a lot of looking to feel overwhelmed and futile.
I think that in the past, friends and supportive people had a way of bolstering my faith in change, and when I was involved in more direct action I felt more empowered, like I was doing something. Now to some extent I am spinning my wheels a bit, trying to figure out the best place for my energy.

With respect to poetry and writing and art, I decided that I wanted to go past just talking about disparity and gender representation and class- and try to work on projects in keeping with my concerns.
I am now working on an online literary website, called Full of Crow, which publishes poetry, fiction, art, and reviews. There's a section for opinion, and social commentary where we hope to encourage diverse voices.
I also work on some zines, some political websites, distro, produce a few chapbooks, work collaboratively with small press and outsider publishers and writers.

Please feel free to write, tell me what you are doing, get in touch.
