I'm excited to share my first ever published piece of fiction, up now in issue 80 at The Collagist: "Best Supporting Actor." Honored to be in the issue with a lot of amazing writers, including fellow poet Rochelle Hurt.

I've got a couple of great things happening this AWP in Los Angeles! Below is my current schedule of appearances:

• March 31st, 6pm, offsite for AWP LA with Quarterly West, Diode, and BOAAT at La Cita Bar
• April 1st, 11-12:30pm, at AWP LA, I'll be signing copies of Translation with the Wick Poetry Center (#508)

In addition, I'll be working at the Ninth Letter booth (#1120) most mornings (8-10am) and evenings (4-6pm) during the conference. I hope to see you there!

I'm late in posting this link, but our local Springfield NPR station was kind enough to interview me prior to my reading and record the reading (and Q&A) in its entirety! Click here!
