My essay LOSING TONGUE from Gruppe Issue 2 (2020) — wherein I reckon with my year of speechlessness, the lingo of identity politics, and the viral nature of language in general. With guest appearances by the late great William S. Burroughs, Adolph Reed, Monty Python, Edward Bernays, and my mom. I’m still young and still good at writing angrily about womankind’s problems, but I’m looking forward to getting older and getting better at writing towards a semblance of their solution.
