NAMED THE BEST POETRY OF 2020 BY THE NEW YORK TIMES My Daily
Actions, or The Meteorites is the result of a daily investigative
writing practice, in which I was worried that a poem invested in
the particulars of my life would be uninteresting-that the
"ordinary" would be mundane. Instead memory, dreams, and the
associative power of the imagination filled each moment with
meaning, each tv show I watched or friend I spoke with, each outfit
I wore or nail polish color I chose. In these poems, a combination
of dread (for something approaching) and anxiety (for what might be
approaching but isn't yet known) undid a sense of the present
separate from climate change, global racial capitalism, whiteness,
and gender-based violence, especially as I wrote as I tried to find
out how my own gender fit into the world. The prose poem is the
vehicle by which a recording practice ("journaling") meets the
associative power of the poem.
