I’m excited to announce I have a poem appearing in the just published (thick but spry) issue of RHINO. It’s on sale now at bookstores in the Chicagoland area, and, of course, on the internet. Also featured in the issue are fly folks such as Tara Betts and Ocean Vuong.

Blog

I’m bad at blogging. I readily admit this. I forget to update and get stuck as to what to write. However, I do really enjoy the Tumblr format, so I’ve gone ahead and removed the blog section from the website. Instead, visit Grand Guffaw, there I’ll be posting all kinds of erratic ephemera. The page is titled after an in-progress poem I have high hopes for, so follow me.
