new work + Salamander virtual event
Just a quick post amid the mayhem winddown that is Sunday night (and right before the mayhem windup that is the start of a new week, haha) to share two things: FIRST, I’m happy to share that I have a new poem, “Pen,” in the latest issue of The Shore. This poem was inspired by…

new Salamander issue!
This week I’d like to highlight the recent release of the latest issue of Salamander! If I’m being honest, it’s still surreal to me be in the position of Editor-in-chief. A literary magazine is a confluence and meeting ground; it is also a lot of work, often in solitude. I ruminate and say as much…

José & the unintended hiatus + interview
First and foremost, apologies for the radio silence. Totally unintended. A lot of life has happened, good and bad. It has been strange not being here in this space. I look forward to doing a bit more now that I’m getting life in order. I’ve got a few reviews in the works as well as…
