Thank you Witness Magazine!

Posted on by

Here’s a video of me reading my poem, “The New Avenues the Only Avenues We Have,” for the launch of the new online issue of Witness. It meant a great deal to me to make this video. This poem about old and new friendships is very close to my heart and I made the recording shortly after the death of a very dear old friend.

Thank you to the editors of Witness for giving this poem a home and for hosting this virtual launch. I hope you all enjoy the video. Check back each weekend in February for more Witness Weekends video readings from the new issue…which you can read in its entirety online!

My lyric essay “What You’re Thinking Now Is a Chunk of Marble” published Southeast Review!

Posted on by

I’m thrilled to share that my lyric essay “What You’re Thinking Now Is a Chunk of Marble” has just been published in Southeast Review‘s new online issue. This essay is from my series inspired by the four fundamental forces. This is the gravity essay, so naturally it touches on…stuff that’s fallen on my head, visiting the local apple festival, Kansas meteorites, buying a house, hanging out on rooftops, Cal Tjader, Yves Klein, middle school science fair, and so on and so on. I wanna say a huge thanks to Zach Linge, Dyan Neary, and everyone at SER!
