The 2022 Burn Before Reading includes my drawing, The Beat Goes On, and my 7 haiku at https://www.burnbeforereadingmag.com/issues/summer-2022-moebius. I can't go this year, so fun to have my art and poetry included, thanks to all the hard-working editors. An article I especially relate to is Elders in the Dust. Lots of wonderful art/writing from the Playa!

My artist books are included in l'art du livre origami, by Jean-Charles Trebbi. English and Spanish translations.
