THE LATEST — OBEY the FLOWER — Scheduled for release on August 28, 2026!
This book of essays — written between 2008 and 2020 and revised in 2026 — chronicles twelve years of life with my partner and our four then five children here on our farm in northern New York!
The essays tackle a range of topics with honesty, wit, and wonder: Why milk a cow? Is nature for or against us? Can you teach creativity? Why isn’t good sex easy? Why is dance a vital art? How do we learn to care for the natural world? What’s most important in selecting a partner? How do you parent warring siblings? Is Earth sacred, and woven through it all, how should we live?
Available in paperback and ebook.

“An impressive staging of the life of Friedrich Nietzsche” — The Agonist
NIETZSCHE tells the story of the enigmatic, controversial philosopher Fritz Nietzsche — and his search for a life worth living. It’s about the woman Fritz loved — and her desire for freedom. It’s about his sister Elisabeth — and her quest for control. It’s about a family torn apart by anti-Semitic Christian nationalism; and it’s about the work it takes to overcome hatred and love life, all of it.
Why Write a Musical about a Controversial Philosopher?
I am an advocate for dance.
I believe human beings emerged as a species by developing the suite of skills required to dance.
Humans are the dancing species.
I also believe dancing, as practice and idea, remains a potent resource for addressing contemporary health, justice, and climate crises.
Dancing is a vital art.
Making the case for these statements and enacting their implications is my life’s work.
