Whether it’s the wonder of water\, the anointing that is queerness\, or the way-making power of Black folks\, he wants to help people marvel at it. His work can be read in Waterproof: Evidence of a Miami Worth Remembering and heard in the forthcoming Audio-Anthology: Who We Are is Made\, both published with O\, Miami.
