Restitution, Or, A Lonely Walk Through The British Museum
Before I discovered this project, I never imagined the drum as anything more than an inert object behind glass, one that I knew belonged to my people but was so far from home that it didn’t have meaning anymore.
Music for Desks: The Sound of Nerves Strummed
Maybe I’m still working from a place of collective composition toward a singular voice, trying to derive one true chord from that old cacophony. The steel strings went slack—too much tension over too much time.
On Manuel Neuer and his Rainbow Armband
And, yes, even now, even for me, there is joy in seeing the rainbow flag in public, in one of the last places I expected to see it. There is joy in not quite knowing why it’s there, but knowing that it means something to the person who chose it.
Night Visions
“The desert tests the faith of even the most committed. When I received orders to deploy here, I imagined sand dunes and shimmering heat.”
Memorial Pool
“A duck’s disappearance figures in history’s rising action only obliquely. A mass death that only enlivens a larger dramatic structure. It is setting; it is not scene.”
Music For Desks: How Deep They Lay
“In hindsight, I see the event as strange, a random act of violence from which no lesson can be drawn.”
