In my lifetime, I belonged to a very brave few who travelled to university/college campuses in rural Ohio (circa 1977) so students could meet a real live homosexual. #PIQdiary #MORE pic.twitter.com/yrLQN2gNb3

“I GASPED”
Full moon











The Full Moon of July 13 happens to be the biggest and brightest of all the Full Moons of 2022 — the ‘perigee’ supermoon!
Full moon. Black Eagle. Toronto. Last night. An encounter between particles resulting in exchange or transformation of energy. A perfect collision to launch the Purple Love Chunk.
It was well worth the wait.
Full moon, full receptive house, many familiars from treasured communities. My local. The street where I live.
To Carlos, Frank, the two Steve’s, and Jacob at the Eagle, Don Pyle serving music, Will Manning at the book table, Aimee & Jim at Palimpsest, and every face that shone back at me in attendance. “It has indeed been grand.”
Thanks for making it so.
NOTE: The audiobook for Poetry Is Queer (Palimpsest Press) is OUT TOMORROW read in its entirety by me, recorded by Don Pyle . I’ll include link here once it’s active.
“She takes you to all the best places.”
My local, on the street where she lives. Of course, I would love to see you! xo Kb
