About Chi

Poetry Chapbooks: amative; beneath this skin; mosaic

Poetry Readings CD: wild / tendril

In addition to astrology, I like - nay, love - writing, drawing, poking people with sticks, hanging out with my friends, fantasizing about dragging W. out of Washington by his floppy ears, reading, happy rainbow fun fun sprinkle time, discovering new music, road trips, learning, trying new stuff, eating my body weight in chocolate, getting mah flirt on, talking about the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival (a.k.a. Michfest) until I am blue in the face, hanging out with my brother, and, of course, dreaming about the day I meet ~H~E~R~ and skip happily ever after towards the sunset while the music swells in the background and flowers clap their petals and bunnies weep with joy. In Canada.
