My poetry, essays, short stories, photography, and paintings have been featured at the Portland Review, Off the Coast Literary Magazine, Blueline Literary Journal, The Furious Gazelle, The Los Angeles Review of Books publication, The Offing, The Tishman Review, Burningword Literary Review, Rust + Moth, and most recently have read my poems published in Bird's Thumb Literary Journal for the Chicago Readers Series. My debut chapbook, "Boxelder Boughs & Other Poems" is forthcoming in 2016.
