Join my Patreon community
for a small monthly donation, and get special access to unpublished writing, previews of upcoming podcasts and behind the scenes stories about my work. This is the main way I get paid for producing podcasts, and writing the poetry and essays that people use in classrooms and organizations, at demonstrations and synagogues, post on their Facebook pages and write on walls. Patreon allows me to communicate regularly with my supporters, and also gives you a way to talk to each other. |
Donate your skills.
Be part of my ground crew with tech support, grant research and writing, social media savvy, or, if you're in the Bay Area, errands, bodywork, carpentry and repair work, housework, dental care, or truck maintenance. I'm living on a shoestring, so any services my community can donate makes a big difference to my budget.

Promote my podcast channel.
The more people listen to and share my podcasts, and the more relationships I can build with listeners, the bigger my base of support. Post links on your social media. Write reviews. Recommend it to your friends.

Buy my books.
I love that people pass my books from hand to hand, but when you read them without buying them, I don't get paid. Assign them in your classes. Review them on your blogs. Give them as gifts. If you use quotes from my work, share my poems, study my essays in your group, send me a little something.

Plan to host me.
The new, "retold" version of Medicine Stories will be out from Duke University Press by March 2019, and I will be bringing back two out of print titles and one new one from Palabrera Press in the fall of 2018. If you are part of an institution that can bring me to speak and read from my work, please contact me about booking a stop on my book tours this fall and next year.
