Happy Valentine’s

On Valentine's Day, I have the grand good pleasure to sit with Dr. @Lucas__Crawford's Queer Theory & Creativity class #UAlberta to read from This Is Where I Get Off, Poetry Is Queer +++ & talk about writing desires, tearoom trade & public sex. #HappyValentines! #PIQdiary 💜 pic.twitter.com/Awlr1Ugkts
