Crush Reactor

2019

I write poems mostly. My recent chapbook is called Crush Reactor. It’s lyric poetry about the manic episode of crushing, the physics of a black hole. Lots of people tell me about their crush after they read it, which I LOVE and take note of but can't quote because it's usually a secret. Brooklyn Poets published an excerpt here. Order a copy here. I’ll send it in the mail. Here are some nice things that a brilliant author said about it.

Enchantments: A Modern Witches Guide to Self Possession

Lenny/Random House 2018

I wrote a book about magic and witchcraft and working at the oldest occult shop in NYC. I'm your hot but approachable tour guide to a strange place that’s familiar to me, and in the process I introduce some mystical concepts that you can use to create spells and rituals that resonate with your style. Random House published it. Find it here or even better, ask your local bookseller. Also available as an audio book production in which I read the entire thing aloud to you myself! Here are nice things that famous people said about it:

“Hilariously conversational, deceptively deep... Enchantments will blow your mind and make you laugh while imparting expert knowledge of witchcraft and why it’s so needed today.” (Natasha Lyonne, actress and producer)

“Imagine that your best friend, a supremely cool, funny, and irreverent person, is also a witch willing to educate and inspire you toward your own witchy practice with humor, sass, and intelligence. This book is magic - literally!” (Michelle Tea, author of Modern Tarot)

“Part memoir, part recipe book, and part poetry collection, Enchantments lets readers in on the great secret of all witchcraft - that being a witch is about being free to be yourself.” (Dorothea Lasky, author of Milk and cocreator of Astro Poets)

“We can all use more magic in our lives in these trying times, and Enchantments will help us get started.” (Kimya Dawson, singer/songwriter, The Moldy Peaches)
