Boring Professional Crap
My poetry collection, Spit, was recently selected for publication by Dana Curtis, editor at Elixir Press (Denver) and should be out later this year (fall-ish). The chapbook, Blank Missives, was graciously published by Trafficker Press (2007). Currently, I'm working on hybrid-ey pieces about my mother and a long poem about North [C]orea.
