I'm republishing a series of pieces that I wrote for the now-defunct Juniper Bends Author Collective. Since I can safely assume that none of my readers are big enough fans to take issue with this--much less to notice--I have few qualms about this course of action. The joke goes that genre only exists so that… Continue reading Genre

Reid and Leah have left Seattle, as have the hordes of writers from all over. I could act like it was thrilling to see folks from NC--and it was--but I've ensured that I am never without access to liberal Southerners, even here in WA state. AWP was much sillier than I anticipated; the longer I… Continue reading Post

Voice

Maybe this is why I am funny in… Continue reading Voice
Writer World
Writers find each other in all sorts of ways. My current writer crush has sent some poets my way to host a reading in Asheville for their book tour. I love the internet.
