What are you working on right now? Or: what kind of work would you like to do?
I’m writing a collection of stories that deal with a woman in her fifties who experiences dating after divorce. She’s also sorting out her relationships with her exes and her children. I’m also painting landscapes and animals in nature, people in nature. For some reason most of the men in the picture have their backs turned to the viewer. Hmmm.
Would you ever perform a striptease? Would I ever?!
Too late, bro, I already have many times on stage as a part of our play, Guayaberas by the Pound, by Los Delicados, a latino poetry performance ensemble I founded with my friends Darren De Leon and Paul S. Flores. I also took my shirt off in the production of Fed up: A Cannibal’s Story, a play by Ricardo Bracho. I am an artist. I have opened myself to many possibilities of who I can be.
