Planting a flag atop the building site. 1999—The strawbale house we build will be called Yashi— from Octavia Butler’s Lilith’s Brood— the name for the second heart that grows in a person and holds all the memories of one’s ancestors. May it be so.


On the scaffold, stuffing clay into straw.


Yashi, finished.


Off-grid solar shed, January.

We call the land Laughing Bird, and crows, magpies, and wild turkeys visit us daily.



Storm clearing.

Yashi inside.


Winter night, warm inside.



Growing in summer, legal at last!

Reading my hot-off-the-presses new poetry book to human and dog friends. 



My parents’ grave, just up the hill—springtime-blooming in mullein.
