  • New work in Hunger Mountain

    Many thanks to Myrth Killingsworth, Tarfia Faizullah, and Adam McOmber for giving this piece a home! 

    Wolf stuff to come.  Mostly I’m exploring microscopic weddings happening in my body. This one is the first to drop.

    “Name, A Container for Joy (A Bride in My Lungs, A Bride in My Ribcage, A Bride in My Heart)”

  • Grateful to be added to the Virginia Poets Database

    You can see the database here

  • Thanks to Nat Raum

    & Jake, the Anti-Literary Magazine for selecting this poem for the ekphrasis biennale.

    This poem, “A Poem With A Painting. A Poem With A Dead Poet, A Poem With a Hole” braids several threads together, and is a bit more conversational than a lot of my work.

  • Many thanks to JP Seabright

    for including me in this wonderful issue of Full House Literary.

    The title poem to my forthcoming collection.

  • Grateful to Rogan Kelly

    For giving this poem a home, “I Met The Wolf Halfway”

  • It was an honor to read for Trans Day of Remembrance

    We had a lovely evening with fine people. Thank you Mark for inviting me to read! Thank you friends for coming and sitting on either side of me!

  • Grateful to Verum Literary Press

    who selected “The Answer To All These Questions Is Freedom” for their upcoming issue on trans/queer joy. @verumlitpress

    Not my usual practice to post acceptances, but they encouraged me and small presses deserve our support! https://www.verumliterarypress.com/about

  • Happy Moist Pub Day!

    Many thanks to Han VanderHart & Alejandro Wilson for including two poems in this wonderful Queer Environment issue which includes many writers I admire! Plus, Han VanderHart is a wonderful poet I admire, tickled to be included. Please check it out!

  • Thank you Ilanot Review…

    And many thanks to Marcela Sulak, Jane Medved, Alison Powell, and W. Todd Kaneko for nominating my poem for Best of the Net!, “I Made a Roof out of the Wolf” in the Want Issue.

  • Two new wolf poems in issue 47 of Meridian

    “The Body is a Home for a Tiny Wolf”, & “I Am the Wolf’s History Book” are included with a bunch of poets I admire, which is a treat!

    Meridian’s website is not yet updated, but you can email them to purchase a copy!
