In an effort to share my wins and celebrate myself more fully, I am excited to tell my friends in my phone about my new project. I bought a condo! It’s in New Haven, CT right on the river and I’m very hopeful that a ground floor, no steps unit will make a difference in…… Continue reading I’m a Homeowner?!

AWP Is NOT Us
Over years of working on literary publications, I have never felt particularly compelled to self-disclose as a radical queer editor, instead hoping that the writers I support would make clear my editorial interests. Today, Red Hen Press editor Kate Gale’s tone-deaf, reactionary—perhaps satirical?—piece “AWP Is Us,” posted at Huffington Post, illustrates publishing’s implicit & explicit…… Continue reading AWP Is NOT Us

Tutor
I’m trying to not get wildly upset at the SCCC administrators about their totally useless tutor training. The most difficult part of my grumpy energy is that I don’t even know who to direct my comments towards; everyone I’ve tried to communicate with has pointed me to someone else. It almost feels as if they…… Continue reading Tutor

So I think I’m writing an essay–or a series of essays–but I keep calling it a collection of prose poems. At what point to I have to admit to myself that I might just be writing prose? Prose terrifies me. Can’t I just cling like a sloth to my poet moniker forever? Does this contradict my…… Continue reading Piece
