I am the author of the poetry collections Kissing the Long Face of the Greyhound, The Patience of Metal and Like Some Bookie God, the nonfiction books Diamonds Are A Dyke's Best Friend and Ransacking the Closet, and the literary historical novel, Infraction, which is set in late nineteenth-century Russia. I am an advocate for making making poetry fun and accessible to as wide an audience as possible: https://thirdcoastreview.com/2018/04/25/... [2] and https://news.wttw.com/2019/11/11/gumball... [3].
