Here you will find funhouse mirrors and oddball musings. A poem or ten. You will find interviews with creatives, reviews about picture books, and a pocketful of fireworks. Maybe even a zine and a radio show if you search properly. Step inside. It's free. I promise it'll all be okay. For now.

Shout-out THEMpeople
[blog]
The most up-to-date, active part of my website, where I highlight poets, visual artists, exotic animals, music videos from 2003, instrumental EPs, and books galore. This is not a Chicago blog, just a blog frequently featuring creatives from Chicago. This page pairs well with a medium roast.
Writing
An extensive list of my publications, including two books, three chapbooks, various magazines, online literary journals, interviews, and podcast appearances. This list continues grows many times a year, whenever I remember to update.
BEYOND
Email me about manuscript consultations, book reviews, freelance pitches, Chicago events, or clever ideas. You can also email me about your favorite deep sea animal, your favorite graphic novel, and/or your favorite song to play before you fall asleep. Whatever comes naturally to you. I’m around.
