I’ll be reading this Friday, September 18, at NY Insight’s Artist Salon & Café, a monthly gathering for artists and art lovers held at the New York Insight Meditation Center in Chelsea.
The Reading
I’ll be reading a short excerpt from Precious Ugly, alongside a flash fiction, in an intimate setting.
In Conversation
Leading the conversation afterward will be John Madera (editor in chief, Big Other), the person behind Big Other and Rhizomatic. It’s a format built for real conversation rather than a formal panel, so expect it to go wherever the room takes it.
Details
When: Friday, September 18, 2026, 6:00–9:00 PM
Where: New York Insight Meditation Center, 115 W 29th St, Floor 12, New York, NY 10001

As a New York City resident and founding editor of Eckleburg, I spend much of my time reading other people’s work — readings like this one are a chance to sit on the other side of that for an evening, and to do it close to home. If you’re in New York City, I’d love to see you there.
Precious Ugly is available now at your local bookseller and online.
