It’s also home to a couple of Yanks (my parents), and all of my memories. It’s home to stomping around in the marsh with my brother and playing two-hand touch on 100 degree days. Eventually, I found another home in Seattle at the University of Washington, a school that first rejected me and then couldn’t get rid of me. I squeezed everything I could out of the Law, Societies &#38;amp; Justice and Creative Writing programs where I sprinted from short story workshops to The Daily newsroom to lectures on criminal justice reform. I took opportunities to venture outside of my comfort zone at every step including reshaping music coverage at the student newspaper, attending classes with inmates at the Monroe Correctional Complex, and living with an eccentric couple while writing poetry on the outskirts of London. I took pictures of it all. I podcasted about it all. I wrote about it all in stories and tankas and scribbles in my Moleskines.
In one of my final classes at UW, I learned about the exponentially growing plight of climate refugees, a cause that inspired me to seek out graduate programs where I could deepen my understanding of this topic. I landed in the University of Edinburgh’s Environment and Development program. There I learned about the greatest international development and environmental justice challenges facing the planet. I worked with incredible academics, attended COP 26, and completed a dissertation analyzing the methods that Costa Rica and the United States utilize to incorporate migrants into their healthcare systems. I was humbly awarded with the distinction of “Best Overall Contribution” to the program.
Since moving to D.C., I have continued to expand my storytelling skills and apply my energy towards giving immigrants and refugees a bigger platform. This has included serving as a storytelling and podcast volunteer with KAMA DC, a grassroots organization dedicated to highlighting the skills and stories of immigrants and refugees living in the DMV area. It’s also taken the form of concert photography and reviews for Parklife DC and continued walks with my notebook through the National Arboretum and to Lincoln Park.

Home Song

When I go home I don’t wash my hair,
I think it grows twice as fast as it soaks in the marsh salt like cordgrass.
Days here get stuck in the mud and
are only nodded forward by the breeze.
No one ages
except from small town tragedies and slipping into big city dreams.
The only clocks are box crabs who 
click their forefingers once at dusk and twice at dawn and
who scatter at the shuffle of adventurous feet.

I find a lot of things at home.
80’s phosphorescent tennis shirts,
dirt under my toenails,
and an old tune that a bluebird once taught me 
ringing between my ears.
For a week it tells me to stay,
it tells me to wake up and 
climb old war bunkers before the horizon is smeared purple and
peach.
After that week,
I lose the melody,
I sleep in,
I set out.
Savannah

I didn’t hear your motor cutting
the current tonight, only your breeze stripping
the moss of dusk’s fading pink warmth.
The end of October reminds me
of burnt knees and long sleeves in front of the fireplace. 
The end of October reminds me that
one day I’ll bring someone new home.
You’ll be jealous, crimson.
I’ll smell the witch hazel on her hands as 
my fingers connect the dots between the kisses
your sand gnats left on her swollen ankle.
You’ll wrap your beaten blanket of fall leaves 
around our sun-stained skin.

We’ll drive to the bluff with our hands drifting
out of windows. You arranged your Christmas lights in the shape
of your favorite constellations, 
Corona Australis, Cassiopeia, and Lyra.
She’ll tell me you look pretty.
All John
Dad,
This is
What we’ll share.
Fourteen magic
Sticks and Titalist.
Echoed laugh, forehead kiss.
Dad, this is what we will share.
A sweet tooth, a screw loose, PB
S broadcasting and the daily news.
This is what we’ll share, fictional heroes,
Late night novels and vintage clothes. The word “um”
And a box of tums next to the quiet neti pot.
Dad this is what we’ll share, a faith built on our favorite
Authors and tuna salad smeared against crumbling challah,
A pair of ears opened by curiosity’s constant nudge and
Neil’s weathered gospel fed to me and Ben with the big spoons like soup
On heavy-eyed drives through the South’s dense nights. Dad this is what we will share.
A home that sways with the breath of a blonde muse and whispers too loudly for
Its promises to be sweet nothings. Just sweet. Just magnolia blossoms. A home that’s only
A home because we share it with Charlie and Jerry and Jethro. A home that clings
To us like a burnt leaf in November’s last autumn glory. Dad this is what I’ll be.

A conch shell. Sharp. Royal. Humbled in sand but demanding attention. Echoing
The ocean of “it’s impossible to predict the future”’s and “I wouldn’t 
Worry about that”’s, someday to explore the world on the back of another.
Dad, this is what I’ll be, spring’s first dawn, acknowledging winter’s blemishes, 
Encouraging growth. I’ll be a rabbi and a renegade, a
Perennial papercut on the eyelid of their “normal”.
A writer and a storyteller. You always Frank, me 
Young Dweezil, both on Casey’s train, running off diesel.
Dad, this is what I’ll be. Grateful for every breath that
Was given to me instead of him, a baby
Whose expiration date was a dark seed.
Dad, I’ll be a willow, pensive. Or
I’ll be an oak, dancing to your
Singing sun. Dad I’ll be a
Son, I’ll be a good one
Shades of Neil, sprinkled
Dylan, all John.
Dad, this is
What I’ll
be.
Walking

the blocks
between dusk and dark
I steal looks inside of illuminated townhouses
and see what people hold important enough to hang against vanilla stucco:
mahogany framed expressionist paintings, succulents individually shelved and reasonably spaced,
string lights that slouch like afternoon shoulders,
and the neatly threaded tapestry that Terrence sent from Kyoto
that was almost hung in
the room where we sit around each other and take small sips of warm drinks and long gazes out of tall windows as indiscernible faces stroll past
on nights like these
when it only drizzles
and raindrops rest on car roofs like beads glue gunned to linoleum,
and I step outside to smell damp maples and angel’s trumpets
and almost brush shoulders with a quickly-passing figure,
faintly familiar,
scoring the streets for a new still,
a frozen scene,
architectural and intimate inspiration,
a loose thought.

An Essay on Meeting Your Heroes

Trying to interpret the loaded Irishman

in the sticky American Bar

just North of the Hammersmith Bridge

was like being put in one of those game show money booths 

that blows an endless stream of dollar bills in a million different directions,

you have to grab on to any words that you can.

Cathal.

Yea I grew up next to Shamey ya know? Same primary school, swear to fookin God.

Top lad, he’s got a little brother with some sort-a mental disability or sometin,

always looked after him. Top fookin lad.

 

Captain Fantastic.

As a football fan, there are certain things you expect from your leader,

high work rate, small ego, 

a physical embodiment of the club,

‘The People’s Club’.

Seamus Coleman is not a swaggering centre back or outspoken midfielder like many 

of the others who don the captain’s armband.

Seamus Coleman is a soft-spoken, baby-faced right back. 

He’s not gifted with the blistering speed or a rocket right boot

(although his net-ripping missile against Southampton in 2013 would suggest otherwise),

but there is a quiet tenacity behind those probing and curious eyes.

Who else plays a full 90 minutes in their first game back

after a near year long hiatus due to a grisly double leg-break

(which Seamus didn’t even flinch at)?

Seamus Coleman.

 

Easter Sunday.

Two weeks after meeting Cathal,

I stood face to face with pilgrimage.

To me, a pilgrimage has to be made on foot,

so I rose early and fueled-up,

Full-Monty,

and weaved my way from downtown Liverpool

through streets of middle-class red-brick homes and fake Georgian townhouses 

lined with wrought iron

until I reached my Wailing Wall,

Goodison Park.

I watched both buses unload,

Richarlison, Bernard, Sigurdsson.

Pogba, Rashford, Martial.

I took swigs on pints of Fosters in old pubs stuffed with 

priceless memorabilia and working class men

who looked as if they had been bald their entire lives.

I waddled through the turnstiles mere minutes before kickoff.

I almost fell over when Richarlison flipped 

his big left boot over his head and thrashed the ball goalward,

and we held our breath and sang and put our arms around each other’s shoulders 

for 90 minutes.

Everton 4 - Manchester United 0.

I was dreaming.

 

Exit one was barricades and little boys in royal blue jerseys.

Exit one was preferred by the star players, the goal scorers, the starting keeper.

I stood by exit two, the quieter exit,

no barricades,

light security.

They came out one at a time, 

humble defenders and 

back-ups and 

assistant managers and 

there he was:

Captain Fantastic.

I was a sunflower in a sea of delphinium hoping that my vintage mustard away jersey

would attract my target.

Seamus, Seamus, can I get a picture real quick?

I didn’t care so much about the picture. I barely got my face and blonde ‘fro in the frame.

I just wanted him to put his arm around me (which he did).

Today was my first match at Goodison. I appreciate such a great performance.

He computed this as he was already walking away,

about to be swallowed by the dozens of waiting fans,

and he did a full turn

and he said nothing

but shook my hand

and held my eyes

and nodded

and for that moment I stood in the shadow of a man my own height

and they say never meet your heroes

because they’re sure to disappoint you,

and I say 

just pick the right heroes

and you’ll never be disappointed.

Copenhagen
The cemetery is a stroll north and west from Copenhagen’s Meatpacking District.

It’s an escape 

from the dizzying architectural arrangements that line Norrebro’s long streets.

Assistens Cemetery.

There lies precise hedges and Hans Christian Anderson.

Across the street, past the craft wine bar

There is another cemetery,

a smaller cemetery,

a Jewish cemetery.

Things are less precise,

it is crumbling red brick and tilted dirt trails 

uprooted and overgrown

and middle-class flats splattered with block-lettered graffiti. 

There lies David. B. Adler who I have no relation to.

The crooked headstones are illegible,

but the Jewish banker,

who shares my surname, 

has been given a planted, plastic label,

and I wonder who will give me a label

and dig pebbles from the earth 

and balance them on the mossy slant of my grave,

in 200 years,

when you can no longer read my headstone.

Manegg Cemetery

 
There are much better views in Zurich,

everywhere,

especially as you rise through District 2,

so I’m not sure why the five lawn chairs are placed,

side-by-side, 

on the edge of the cemetery,

in the middle of the unkempt field with no tombs,

facing directly at the fence and low-hanging sun and proud firs and towering pines.

It’s a still from a horror movie,

blazes of light filtered through branches 

reflecting off of the bending grass and dandelions.

 
These seats are not for me,

not for tourists who stumble into the cemetery after

a long day on their feet.

I can sit anywhere 

and watch the sun tuck behind the hills that flank the Southwest edge of the city.


The chairs wait to be filled with cigarette smoke and fragmented conversation

by one of the families whose ancestors lie 300 yards east,

one of the families that lives a couple of blocks away,

in a cream-colored house,

with amethyst wisteria growing over the clothesline in the backyard.</description>

	Pandemic Poets
This is a project that I was invited to join by the Pandemic Poets page on instagram. I wrote poems based off of prompts given to me by my friends in exchange for donations to the International Rescue Committee. We raised over $150 dollars, and that money was matched by my family and a second donation was made to Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking. Some of the poems that I wrote for this project have been posted to this page.

On the Beach



We will tip-toe

charcoal smoked,

ivory and bumblebee splattered,

royal blue lawn chair beaches

with scattered joint butts and discarded peach pits,

until we find our spot

and shed our leather-strapped shoes.

There is security in being at sea-level,

in having nowhere to fall and

in looking into a distance

and knowingthat if a piece of the Olympics were to crack and crash to the floor,

it would land at your feet

and settle in the seafoam.

And when I twist a third Blue Moon open,

I will forget about the orange slices in the cooler.

I will be watching sand explode like miniature land mines

under the feet of my friends,

young men with echoing voices and athletic builds.

Young men that I missed during the inside war.

Uncoil

In the quiet light of late hours,

when days were dim, 

harsh,

and closed,

we laid in blanket wombs and walked under concrete towers,

we layered our wounds against the long wind 

and made abbreviated eye contact.

We who share shape

and track how many minutes later the sun will set tomorrow,

that sun that seals some scars in bronze,

like the one on the side of my cheek

that will be swallowed by a laugh,

when we begin sharing those again.

And how often do we get to reset,

relearn our favorite tricks,

shed skin like an old jacket,

uncoil,

and crane like a California poppy 

seeing the coast for the first time.


Morning

I delay sleep

until my chain makes impressions on both 

my pillow

and neck,

and I slide it over my ears,

kiss it,

and lay it next to my crimson water cup,

so that it is there for me when I wake up

to kiss it

slide it over my ears,

feel its weight on my sternum

next to where my heart strikes out 

the early morning song,

on beat with the whistling sparrow balanced atop the magnolia,

but absorbed by the T.V. in the kitchen.

It is hard to live in fear at breakfast

when everything bad is stuck in yesterday,

when you’ve survived the six o’clock news

and a mid-slumber sweat.

What is there to be afraid of

when the yard is still

and there are fresh blueberries in the fridge?


	Matzah Brei

There is a recipe that,

I like to think, 

has been in my family for generations.

I think this because no one in my family has ever grabbed a spatula

with conviction in their palm.

This recipe is for cooks of all skill levels.

First, you crack half a dozen eggs into a large bowl

and stir.

Then you grab a shit-ton of matzah,

and it crumbles in between your fingers 

onto the counter

as you transport it as quickly as possible and slide a sheepish smile 

in your mother’s direction.

You then break the thick, aerated sheets of cracker into the bowl

(the pieces of matzah should vary in shape and size for best results).

After you add a few splashes of milk 

(any kind will do, but I do not think that they had almond milk four generations ago),

and a dash of salt and pepper,

and stir it all together,

you’re ready to cook.

Fire up the largest pan you can find to medium heat and melt some butter.

Throw all of the matzah brei mix in there, 

stomachs are grumbling and siblings are kvetching.

You’re basically just making scrambled eggs at this point,

except for the fact that your matzah brei will be bathed in syrup and 

coated in cinnamon sugar before being consumed.

“Moses didn’t liberate us for you to disrespect the bread of affliction 

with this sugary, sacrilegious breakfast dish,”

a man with a beard fuller than mine might suggest. 

And I would respond,

“Look around. We are no longer the people with our noses in the dirt.

Still, there are many who split sea and border,

who do much more with far less,

for their children to be reclining at breakfast,

like I am now.

Look at how much food we have made:

enough for guests,

in the hope that more will be able to join us next year.

To snap the bread of affliction 

and remember how cruel life can be, 

and to drown in syrup 

and remember how sweet life can be.”

Phantom Limb Pain

I think it was my eighth birthday

that I celebrated with a cookie-cake and Velcro-clad relatives

Retirement County, Florida,

counting (great) Uncle Bob’s fingers.

He had lost one to a shell in WWII.

 
There is a phenomenon called phantom limb pain

during which someone who has just lost a part feels

painful/burning/twisting/itching

sensations

in their missing extremity,

and I wonder if Bob could feel the absent digit

try to wiggle free

as I passed it by for the fourth time.
 
Probably not.

You adjust

a middle finger assumes the assignments of a pointer

like commanding a trigger

or poking your partner's side

just before the monster jumps out.

 
And we will adjust 

and are adjusting

to greeting with

distance,

delayed embraces

and words to replace

like

I’m happy you’re here,

yet there will still be the phantom pain

of sharing space

but not closing it,

of a resurfacing memory where 

no one speaks

and hands feel like candles

and we still cradle each other

like we’ve never known fragility

or that there was ever a chance 

of losing this.

As a sophomore at the University of Washington and one of the top contributors to the Arts + Culture section at The Daily, Gabe was selected to be one of the paper’s creators for their new Podcasts section. The following year, Groove 206 was born. On Groove 206, Gabe interviewed everyone from college house show heroes to touring artists, and through the podcast, Gabe received media passes to shoot backstage at one of Seattle’s biggest festivals and even took a mini road trip with one of Israel’s hottest rock bands. After creative differences impelled Gabe to remove Groove 206 from the paper’s platform, he became the sole producer and editor of the show and taught himself the ins and outs of audio-editing and podcast publication. A few months into the Covid-19 pandemic, Gabe’s football (soccer) obsessed friends approached him with a new podcast idea. After much discussion and preparation, the group of five released the first episode of The Meat Pies Podcast, a Premier League and international football focused podcast. Guests have included everyone from famed pub owners and friends to MLS club owners, World Cup stars, and Olympic heroes. Through the Meat Pies Podcast, Gabe has continued to expand his production and editing skills including recently implementing the unique “hat-trick” interview format, a Meat Pies original concept where the hosts construct an interview around the three most important football matches the guest has ever watched, attended, coached, or played in. Now over 100 episodes in, the Meat Pies are looking to expand the show and their reach through bigger and better content.

		<description>Kevin Garrett &#38;amp; The Art of Redemption 11/17/24 Songbyrd Music House

&#60;img width="1200" height="1500" width_o="1200" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4c9540883fd3308496ce2579821486207ad47a7e1871c0c09448b704c41eafed/Kevin-11.jpg" data-mid="225348666" border="0" data-scale="52" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4c9540883fd3308496ce2579821486207ad47a7e1871c0c09448b704c41eafed/Kevin-11.jpg" /&#62;I caught Kevin as I was approaching the entrance of the Songbyrd and he was quietly sneaking out to pick up some dinner. The crowds and quick turnaround after shows can make it difficult to connect with artists on showdays, so I selfishly try to take my chances beforehand. I introduced myself, and he said with a smile that he was expecting me. I felt bad; I had accidentally started a small train of concert-goers that recognized him outside of the venue. He graciously took a moment with each one before darting off, and I slipped inside to hear Frances Whitney serenade the crowd.

I first met Kevin outside of his show at the Omeara in London in 2019. We spoke briefly as I stood in a line of a couple dozen fans. I mentioned my music podcast to him and moments later the long line behind me gasped as James Bay gave Kevin a goodbye hug and brushed past.
As a student journalist and the most active contributing writer for the Arts Section of The Daily at UW, I was tasked with creating the first music show for the fledgling Podcast Section. I learned some really important lessons, the main being that the worst someone can do is say no. I did some really cool stuff including interview Kevin before a show on his tour with Banks. 

This was the biggest interview that I had done at the time. I was nervous. I might’ve been late. I asked some decent questions and some really stupid ones. I made him do a segment called “Kevin Garrett or Kevin Garnett” where I read him a collection of his own song lyrics and quotes from former NBA superstar Kevin Garnett, quizzing him on who said what. While initially reserved, Kevin was incredibly gracious and courteous and charming. We spent over an hour together, chatting loads before and after the interview. He told me about all of the one-off guitars in his new favorite music store by Pike Place and his desire to go to a Mariners game next time he was in town. The Showbox SoDo, where he’d be playing later that evening, sat in the shadow of T-Mobile Park. He even gave me his cell number at the end. 

None of this extraneous conversation was recorded of course; you remember these things when meeting one of your favorite artists. None of anything we said that day was recorded at all actually, even what was supposed to be a 30-minute podcast. I was so jittery and amateurish that I never did a soundcheck. Kevin’s soft voice competed with the coffee shop’s background music, and my cheap microphone was confused into impotence.

The audio was irrecoverable. For years, I never reached back out to Kevin or his PR team. While I learned from the experience, I remained somewhat embarrassed. When I finally had the chance to see him again after five years, I jumped at the opportunity for redemption. I connected with his team and asked to photograph the show. While the photos are all good and well, the concert was more than the slides I have posted here and on Instagram.

&#60;img width="722" height="1089" width_o="722" height_o="1089" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/13de6c0ddd16c0334e7901aba6b2f1e4edff12e313d0853137fabdbdcfa0175f/123E061F-48CD-4B84-9040-174AAF8D524D_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="225349794" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/722/i/13de6c0ddd16c0334e7901aba6b2f1e4edff12e313d0853137fabdbdcfa0175f/123E061F-48CD-4B84-9040-174AAF8D524D_1_105_c.jpeg" /&#62;

Kevin’s songwriting is some of the best in the game. He has been recognized as a collaborator by the likes of Lennon Stella, Banks, and the Queen Bey herself. While the podcast is gone, there is one quote from Kevin while discussing his creative habits that will stick with me forever:
“I write for myself. I make music for others.”
As a young writer constantly contending with the value of my piled pocket-notebooks filled with scribbles and untethered thoughts, this simple statement felt incredibly profound. Once you’re a writer, it’s nearly impossible to shut off. There’s no use in fighting it, but it can be difficult distinguishing between writing to lift the heavy words from your conscience and writing to connect with others.

&#60;img width="724" height="1084" width_o="724" height_o="1084" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/37426629bfc3a919a85ac28aae6adb6480dcd9796d444b3fff7f6ce6f7fadc52/E709BE20-4B1E-4D8E-8B31-8F61B9D0053A_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="225349788" border="0" data-scale="44" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/724/i/37426629bfc3a919a85ac28aae6adb6480dcd9796d444b3fff7f6ce6f7fadc52/E709BE20-4B1E-4D8E-8B31-8F61B9D0053A_1_105_c.jpeg" /&#62;

It’s funny and a bit strange hearing Kevin on stage talk about criticisms he received from songwriting professors in college as he tunes for "It Don't Bother Me At All” or “Coloring.” His ability to bake layers of vulnerability into addictive melodies is second to none. It makes it apparent that this is Kevin’s calling, and it is hard to imagine a music industry that he doesn’t fit into.

Yet, like many artists, Kevin has expressed frustrations with the challenges of the industry. Countless talented artists struggle to navigate relations with record labels and predatory streaming services. While there are more ways to market your music than ever before, monetizing it can be a different story. I imagine that Kevin has run into many of these hurdles, but I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to have people like Kevin in music. He is one of the most relatable, accessible, and genuine artists in the game. There are few that take more time to interact with their fans, and he consistently brings refreshing transparency to the stage. In a world, and especially a music industry, that is played out largely online, his willingness to connect in person with those that care about his work is irreplaceable.
It is a simple concept: when you see others openly embracing their calling, it makes it easier to pursue your own. Kevin makes music more human and concerts more pleasant. I’m at the end here, and I haven’t even mentioned his voice, which is one of the best I’ve heard live. I will go see Kevin perform every time I get the chance, and I will always be grateful for our nonexistent podcast and the grace he’s shown over the years. It makes mistakes feel less harsh and picking up much easier.

There is no force in this country, besides maybe the Olympics, that brings people together quite like jazz, and there is no force in contemporary jazz quite like Kamasi Washington. The Los Angeles native brought the West Coast vibes to an East Coast institution last Wednesday night as the Birchmere brimmed with energy and barbeque. It felt only fitting to see a modern giant in a setting that comes heavy handed with jazz, rock, and blues history. 
With the release of The Epic in 2015, Washington garnered international acclaim for his cinematic sound and virtuosic solos, but this current iteration of the Kamasi Washington experience has a much different feel almost a decade on. While Washington and his band still built a massive sound, there was a lightness about the performance that accentuated the massive solos. Washington has embraced his role as a leader in West Coast music through the collective West Coast Get Down. One of the highlights of the show for me was the space given to hip-hop legend DJ Battlecat, who spun incredible mixes throughout the evening. The heavy hip-hop moments were balanced with soothing vocals from Patrice Quinn and soulful keys from Brandon Coleman. Washington’s tenor sax still sealed most songs perfectly, but the show was less a showcase of his talents and more a carefully curated tour of the West Coast jazz scene.

While many didn’t always see the vision of the latest record Fearless Movement, the show at the Birchmere was a testament to Washington’s staying power and his love and understanding of the stretchability of jazz.
