Here’s an interview with me, published today at Great Writers Steal — as part of their series called “Hey, Why’d You Do That?” — in which I respond to questions about my poem “Nerve Endings Like Strawberry Runners” recently published online at Witness.
The interview includes both the phrase “(certainty + uncertainty)” and my idea of what a poem written for a cat would look like. So, like, you’ve been warned. 🙂
Thanks Ken Nichols!

I’m elated to announce that my creative nonfiction essay “An Elephant Walks into a McDonalds” has just been published in the fall 2015 issue of Boulevard. This traditional essay is a memoir account of two prison arts outreach experiences I have had: the first in the 1990s at Washington DC’s Lorton Prison as an observer with Living Stage, and the second in the 2000s as a guest poet at a jail outside Lawrence, Kansas.
This is the second essay that I have had published and it’s a thrill to have it appear in Boulevard. Thank you to Jessica Rogen and the other Boulevard Editors!
