“An Elephant Walks into a McDonalds” in Boulevard

Posted on by

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!

“An Elephant Walks Into a McDonalds” in Boulevard Fall 2015

Today I received the wonderful news that my creative nonfiction essay “An Elephant Walks Into a McDonalds” is slated to appear in the fall 2015 issue of Boulevard Magazine.

Given the endless winters one must suffer through living here in Syracuse, it’s absurd to wish that fall would hurry the hell up. It’s completely preposterous. It’s just silly to wish something like that. Seriously.

I’m excited to share the news that my nonfiction essay “An Elephant Walks Into a McDonalds” has been accepted for publication in Boulevard.

The essay is a memoir account of two prison arts outreach experiences I have had. The first was in the 1990s at Washington DC’s Lorton Prison as an observer with Living Stage, and the second was in the 2000s as a guest poet at a jail outside Lawrence, Kansas.

This is the second personal essay I have had accepted for publication. The first one, “Go Away and Stay Right Here,” was published last year in Colorado Review. You can purchase a paper copy of that Spring 2014 issue for $10 or a pdf for $5 HERE.

Thank you Jessica Rogen and Boulevard!
