9 years ago: no books. No finished manuscript. No clue. No contacts. Today: 1 book. 4 finished manuscripts. 1 contract. Still no clue. Hundreds of writers and readers who've helped me along the way. Just keep going.

Fuck AI. Fuck it in professional contexts. Fuck it in academia. Fuck it in art. Fuck it in fandom spaces. Fuck it in your personal life. Fuck it in your social life. Fuck it to death.

My poems are getting out of the house! I hope they're wearing pants! Work forthcoming in The Iowa Review, Cherry Tree, Chiron Review, MER’s Volume 25 print issue, and La Rotonde Review’s COLORS anthology. Have a poem out? Post to comments! I'd love to read/share it!

PLEASE let us raise children who believe that painting, poetry, dancing, storytelling and dreaming are essential parts of being human.

I recommend this PBS documentary on the life of Edgar Allan Poe. Here's the first half of it: pbs.org/show/in-search-of-ed…
In Search of Edgar Allan Poe

In Search of Edgar Allan Poe

Meet the man behind the myth and the timeless works he created.

Stop assuming your writing has to be perfect. First drafts are always trash, no matter how good you are. Being a writer is about the journey of improvement and growth, not instant perfection.

Ecstatic to be in one of my dream mags today with a long poem about body dysmorphia, genetic and epigenetic inheritance, family history, the ways our bodies betray us, and Joan Rivers. Oh, and it’s a laugh a minute 😉 Grateful to all brave enough to give it a read. Link below👇

Residents are fighting back against plans for a project that would span thousands of acres near the Monongahela National Forest and popular outdoor recreation, ski areas and dark sky sites. npr.org/2026/10/31/nx-s1-599…

The 5 and 7yos saw leeks on the kitchen counter and immediately asked, “Can we use these as swords?” Now I know the origin of the Old Norse kenning for sword, “battle-leek”

A lot of the really great writers on here are very modest and don't do much self promoting or self mythologizing I think the rest of us can help them out with that by promoting their work, writing about it, telling stories about how they fight bears and save orphans, etc.
