The Summer of Jade is a video essay of the chapbook of poetry I wrote to commemorate this summer in Marin County, California.

“The Red Birds” is part of a larger body of work called The Red Collection, which I’ve created a space for since many of the beautiful journals that have published my lyrical essays so far are no longer in publication, and as a multimedia project, a website is the best place to share it. This essay was going to be published in the Transformative Power of Art Journal before it went out of funding. It is such an integral part of my project, I have posted it here to get it out in the world.
