Marisa's Blurbs |
About me:
I'm a writer, activist, and singer-songwriter... I spend my days flitting between creative work and grunt work and the two skilled nosepickers I work with as a nanny... I just finished my first book, a memoir, titled "Loyal to the Sky: Notes from an Activist" and I'll be coming soon to a city near you on my book tour in February when it comes out... I'm also finishing up my first full-length album...I like sitting in my garden in the morning drinking tea and watching the leaves shift. I also like bending my double-jointed arms backwards and watching people recoil in horror.

Who I'd like to meet:
Other writers, artists, musicians, activists, meditators.
