  • Eucharist, Womb (Poetry Book + Digital EP)
    Book/Magazine + Digital Album

    “Take and eat. This is my body, broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

    My new book EUCHARIST, WOMB is a collection of poems and reflections on my adolescence. These poems are stories about bodies, eucharist, racialization, falling in love, love unrequited, the pornographied imagination, and new creation. These stories are about how bodies are disembodied over and over and over again. How they are displaced, commodified, and transfigured according to the image of fallen mortal craftiness and not the healing flesh of Israel's Messiah.

    These poems are stories, my story. They imagine how God heals our stories through union with the very body and blood of Jesus, the Holy One, who redeems, reorients, and restores. Collected over the past four years, these words are the sharing of my life with you.

    I hope you join me on this journey. I hope these poems encourage you more than they've encouraged me throughout the years. I hope they help you reimagine the meaning of belonging in a world that seems to have forgotten the simple yet profound beauty of communion - of fellowship with one another in a fathomless intimacy that no one could ever explain.

    Releasing in late January, EUCHARIST, WOMB is now available for pre-order on Bandcamp.

about

I began thinking, writing, and conceptualizing After Supper's story in 2020, a story that was ignited by the George Floyd protests.

And now, the EP is here.

After Supper is a testament to my journey and a witness to my wrestlings. It asks the question of communion juxtaposed with the act of betrayal. It is a meditation on how Jesus still fed Judas with his body & blood, even though he knew that Judas would betray him.

After Supper is the mystery of reconciliation, embodied in the eucharistic practice of living life together. It is the tension of proximity with your enemies — a tension reconciled in the culinary performance of sacrifice and interdependence: "This is my body broken for you, do this in remembrance of me."

After Supper contains my thoughts and reflections, put to the sounds of music and song.

I hope it speaks to you like it did to me. I hope it helps you reimagine what the Eucharist is and what it means for all of us to be eating at the same table — the table Christ has already set for us.
