My debut chapbook, Some Odd Days, is available now from Bottlecap Press. It is a collection of journal writing from 2020-2024 that blends daily life, fiction, memories, travel writing, and more to form a self-portrait of yours truly.

Been anticipating Lili is Crying all year. Hoping to have more Hélène Bessette brought to us by Kate Briggs’ expert pen. This is to be read in a summer heat.

What’s worse than a nightmare is revisiting its late night dream journal entry and realizing you’ve already forgotten what was once paralyzing.

Another banger from Charco Press. Also, the inclusion of Gil’s social media posts alongside the primary text is such an effective marriage of the contemporary writer’s two primary outlets. Could easily be done poorly, but here it elevates the text and brings it into the world.

If one were to be finalizing a novel/short story collection hybrid manuscript to submit around summer’s end…. Where would one submit?.

Inspired by how Jordan Stump describes the process of translating Marie NDiaye here:

I’ve moved on from Marie NDiaye’s early novels of vague identities and emotions to a later stage where the incessant need to pin down and examine reality only serves to better emphasize its illusory nature. One of my most treasured writers working today.

Trying to prioritize movie watching more lately. This month has gutted me.

Blind Owl is perfect. Captures a state of nightmare as if it were written by one. In league with Dazai, Kafka, Dostoevsky, Ligotti, Molinard, Evenson, Dávila, NDiaye, Donoso.

I'd live inside myself doing the same things I do now in spite of the fact of being a prisoner in the dark because inside people is darknes

Vollmann heads, which should I read first—Fathers and Crows or The Dying Grass?.
