I am working on several book-length projects: a YA novel, a literary mystery, and an experimental novel about a chosen family and a missing artist.

I am seeking a home for a linked-story collection, THE BONES OF THE MOUSE MAKE THE CAT, which takes place across the twentieth century inside, and away from, the community of a small truck circus.

My flash-prose chapbook, Staircases Will Outnumber Us, is available from Red BIrd. For a taste of my writing, please see Selected Writing and my blog.

I write poems using constraints and, sometimes, traditional forms. I work on erasures and collaged texts as meditation and reanimation.

By Whale is an erasure of Moby-Dick that reinstates the book’s many whales. It’s free in EPUB and PDF formats. Please note that the EPUB file might render without grayscale “whale” instances in Apple Books.

Gratitude to the Minnesota Libraries Publishing Project for access to Pressbooks. Hooray for public libraries.

I am also working with a 1942 edition of the book from Dodd, Mead and Company, using paint on the pages for a unique text.
