I’m delighted to have an essay called “Portrait of Myself as a Boat” in The People’s Project, edited by Saeed Jones and Maggie Smith and published by the wonderful Washington Square Press!

The essay is about learning to parent a child through uncharted waters, and his book is a. beautiful exercise in community and solidarity. It publishes on Tuesday, September 9! Please check it out.

Better yet, please buy a copy. Each copy sold benefits the ACLU.
