Well friends, life continues to be wacky. I’m a midwesterner now, splitting my time between New Buffalo, MI and Chicago, IL. So far, so good, though, and seriously I know everyone gets it, but that lake is huge. Anyway, as

The Drunken Boat
For the last few summers, I’ve spent great chunks of my time shelf-reading at the library. Standing in an aisle, reading call numbers, making sure that 140,000 volumes are all in the order Library of Congress and we have laid

Tom Robbins, and the Beet
I’m interested in writing about the anxiety of influence, but I wonder if I have anything to say that hasn’t been said already. I was making dinner about an hour ago, slicing into a beet. God damn, beets are beautiful.

Well, This Is Nice
Oh, internet, it’s been too long. I spent the winter in a bit of a seasonal depression daze, submitting to journals and reading sad books and eating a lot of soysage. Yeah, that’s right, not even real sausage. Soysage. But,

The Apology
Also, friends, there IS new fiction this week. A short-short called The Apology is on my new fiction page. Aptly titled, as I think I owe an apology for not updating in some time.

Pardon Our Monsters
Three years ago, I came across a book by a young Canadian Writer named Andrew Hood called Pardon Our Monsters. It’s a collection of short fiction made up of 12 stories ranging from just two pages to nearly thirty. I

Bukowski at Work
It seems lately that I need to keep reminding myself of the benefits of my job. (almost) Unlimited access to 9,000,000 books across five colleges no supervision for five of my eight hours a day becoming exposed to hundreds of

Sometimes Being Literary Means Having To Read Erotica At Work
Dialogue has always been one of my biggest challenges as a writer. Usually, I just sort of ignore it and create these elaborate, deep and imaginative characters who, for whatever reason, are largely silent. Well, it turns out that people
