Miscellaneous


I possess a curious mind that causes me to write in a wide variety of genres, about a wide variety of subjects. My non-fiction has appeared in AFAR Magazine, Border Crossing, Paste Magazine, Slow Travel Berlin, The Writer, and many other outlets, both online and in print. My first full-length poetry collection, The Scabbard of Her Throat, was selected by Cornelius Eady for publication in the Hilary Tham Capital Collection series of The Word Works. I have a second manuscript that I’m sending out to a select handful of publishers for consideration. I also served as editor for the anthology My Cruel Invention, published in 2015 by Meerkat Press. Poems I wrote have appeared in 2015 Poet’s Market, Barrow Street, Fourteen Hills, Oxford American, Poet Lore, and elsewhere. I translated several poems by German poets Ulrike Draesner and Joachim Ringelnatz, and a few appeared in Asymptote, Connotation Press, and National Poetry Review, and are forthcoming in The Massachusetts Review. Other translations have been provided for a variety of German small business and consultants. There are a few works of short fiction making the rounds at several litmags but SHHHHH! — don’t tell my poems.
