CHARISMA BLEEDS AND STAINS EVEN YOUR WORST ENEMY! BE CAREFUL! BUT,
HAVE A BLAST!
Personal Philosophy
Find peace in your uncertainties, and those of others. Big cities and small farms. It’s exciting to listen, more so to remember. I am an American writer and artist dispersing my time between Chicago and New York. Hands show age quickest, take photos and kiss palms.
Love
Your gut is the connection of your mind to body and she’s a sapient, ruthless bitch
Artists love artists love artists
Missed calls necessitate witty voicemail messages
Useless without inclusivity
Knee-bucklers
TV Westerns and their cultural offspring
Steady surrealism in novel writing
Silver rings and tattooed fingers
Movement/Diet
Backbends make me cry for my mother (I love pilates, ballet and have mommy issues)
Favorite/Most Despicable Depression Meal; dry toast with fresh dill and cracked pepper
Beauty
Eyeliner but no mascara
Sleeping in perfume to sentimentalize my mornings
Hobbies
Books in every form; consuming and creating. Intentional, archival pulping, paper-making, book binding.
Drinking
Dogs. I moved to a new city this past year, and having no connections, took myself to the beach every evening to watch the dogs swim. Winter alternative; fostering puppies who sleep in the knots of your hair and piss in your potted plants

Spotify’s ‘Melancholy Sad Classical’ playlist
Henry + Nathan Wolf, my brothers. Both individually talented musicians who, when I’m lucky enough to listen in, create some of the most etheric, poignantly improvised melodies together.
