    // advance praise

    Borderline Fortune is starting to take shape as a full-fledged book, and I hope to have a cover to show you soon. In the meantime, I’m grateful for these kind words: Teresa K. Miller explores startling territories in Borderline Fortune. She addresses the lines we’ve drawn and erased for centuries on the earth—that conform to […]

    // shelter in place & parentheses

    I hope this finds you surviving and at least sometimes thriving. ❤ This year has brought some of the best and worst experiences of my life. For today, I’ll share a little bit of the good. I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Laura Joyce Davis for her podcast Shelter in Place. We covered […]

    // can we have our ball back?

    Just a note on the eve of another lockdown to share some good news about Borderline Fortune, forthcoming from Penguin in October 2021. If you followed online indie lit mags in the ’00s, then you know can we have our ball back? I’m honored to have three poems from Borderline Fortune in the reimagined version […]

  • // winner of the national poetry series

      In the midst of my county burning down and threatening to suffocate us all, I’m still honored and deeply grateful to announce that former California Poet Laureate Carol Muske-Dukes has chosen my manuscript Borderline Fortune as a National Poetry Series winner, to be published by Penguin in fall 2021. Excerpts have appeared in Empty […]

  • // laid bare

      I saw a headline that said George Floyd’s death “laid bare America’s racial wounds.” But they were already laid bare—by Emmett Till’s murder. And if not by him, then by Dr. Martin Luther King’s assassination. And if not by him, then by Rodney King’s beating. And if not by him, then by Oscar Grant […]

    // bye, 2019

      May 2020 be the year we rid the White House of an aspiring fascist, collectively exceed our targets for mitigating and repairing environmental destruction, and treat each other with compassion. I spent 2019 writing on those themes, among others: “NCAP Gives Thanks for Farmers,” a blog for the Northwest Center for Alternatives to Pesticides […]

    // borderline fortune

    Five and a half years ago, Russell Bennetts messaged out of the blue and asked me to send him some poems for Berfrois. I had no idea what I was getting into—as it turned out, not only those poems but also a poetry collection “by” Jeff Bezos, an interview and participation in two series at […]

      I’m happy to report Berfrois just published the tenth film essay in the occasional series Gregory Giles and I co-created, this time on social media spectatorship and trekking through the world’s largest cave: Straightjacketed into Spectatorship; or, the Image of Seeing a Cave IRL I also recently wrote a blog for the Northwest Center […]
