With a DIY and entrepreneurial spirit, Caits has worked across a wide array of mediums, including music albums, video direction, comic zines, participatory community arts projects, illustration and design projects, and limited edition poetry books published by small presses The Operating System and Well&Often.
Her current projects include menstrual clown rapper AUNT CAKES and FLOWERS FOR LINDA, a podcast on grief & creativity.
As former director of Prison and Justice Writing at PEN America, Caits edited PEN America's The Sentences That Create Us: Crafting A Writer’s Life in Prison (Haymarket Books), an anthology which features the original contributions of over 50 justice-involved writers. Tens of thousands of the book were distributed into prisons across the United States free-of-charge.
