What a total delight Dustin Nightingale and I had this evening reading our collaborative poetry alongside awesome collaborative duos Aimee Parkison & Carol Guess and (hosts) Meg Pokrass & Jeff Friedman, as part of the “Hybrid Forms Collaborations — Reading and Discussion.” Thank you Meg for inviting us, and thank you to all the great folks who attended the reading and discussion!
On May 1st Dustin Nightingale and I will be reading/discussing our poetry collaborations as part of a collaborative writing Zoom event with Aimee Parkison & Carol Guess and hosts Meg Pokrass & Jeff Friedman. We’ve never done a collaborative reading, and we’re really excited about this!
Join us!

We’re the back cover of the new Denver Quarterly! Holy moly! Friends, I’m over-the-moon to have received contributor copies of the new issue of Denver Quarterly whose theme is collaborative writing. It contains three prose poems I wrote with Dustin Nightingale. And they put one on the back cover! What a thrill! Thank you to Vincent James and everyone at the Denver Quarterly!
Delighted to share the news that the Denver Quarterly just accepted three poems: “Ants Gather at the Puncture,” “Government Wine,” and “Itty Bitty City” — all collaborative prose poems from the series I’ve been writing with Dustin Nightingale.
Massive thank yous to the good editor folks of Bear Review for accepting “Where There Are No People for No Music I Hear Music,” “The Scraping of So Much All Our Breaths,” and “Isn’t This Nice the Way We Stay Awake” — three collaborative prose poems written with Dustin Nightingale.
What a thrill to hold in my hands my contributor copy of They Said: A Multi-Genre Anthology of Contemporary Collaborative Writing just out from Black Lawrence Press. The names on the table of contents make my head spin. Dustin Nightingale and I are absolutely looped to have three of our collaborative prose poems appear in this anthology: “Staring Out a Window Echoing the Actual Moon” and “And Me With Only a Bottle Opener in My Pocket” first published in DIAGRAM, and “I Fear We Have Made a Terrible Mistake” first published in Two Peach. Thank you to the editors who initially published these and to Simone Muench, Dean Rader, Sally Ashton, and Jackie White for including us in this amazing volume.
