PROTOCOLS: An Erasure - now available for pre-order

An urgent, poetic exploration of power, memory, belief, and the dangers and possibilities of language.

Accompanying the poem, a lyric essay excavates the my deep personal connection to the source text, weaving personal and collective history. Ayin Press, June 24, 2025
