Feature in Celeste Ramos’ “Let’s Meet”

My good friend/tia/fairy gothmother Celeste Ramos is a major influence and inspiration to me. She is a brilliant writer, thinker, live-er, and we often chat on the phone for hours at a time. She has an exquisite voice, so sonically alone, it’s a pleasurable experience. Our conversations feel like velvet folding in on itself. Or what I imagine the greater fabric of the universe to feel like as it endlessly expands and contracts. And in spite of the ever-present darkness, we laugh a lot. When she asked if she could include me in this new project of hers, I was super excited. It’s really lovely to be preserved by someone you love. I’m so glad she was willing to ask me these questions and listen to the answers.
