Writing

With a background in nature writing, fiction, personal nonfiction, and other genres, I have in recent years bent toward poetry. My poetry has been published in Shadowplay, The Ekphrastic Review, and Wayfarer Magazine. I am an alum of Tupelo Press's 30/30 Project. You can read samples of my work below.

I have served as editor and layout designer for two student-run literary magazines at Kenyon College and am invigorated by the variety and profound personality of the literary landscape of small presses and journals. The best work can come from anywhere; the right comment on a tech forum can inspire internal revolution. Words belong everywhere, and I strive to use them with love and precision.

Selected Texts

I write with love for the craft.

My written work appears on my sculpture. My sculpture stains my approach to my writing. The divisions between media are useful, but constructed, and can be readily eschewed for a more holistic understanding of the ways in which art is a vast patchwork of creative acts.
