Poetry & Prose

Here you'll find a smattering of articles, poems, essays, and the like that I've written for a number of publications, most notably Foundling House and Analogue. I've also been known to haunt The Rabbit Room and Curator Magazine from time to time, and for a while, I wrote for the now-defunct Knoxville area publications Celebrate Knoxville and Sevierville Business Journal.
I am also a founding member of the creative collective Knox Writes, as I highly value friendly criticism and communal support in such a difficult endeavor as writing. If you're in the area when we meet (usually once a month), do feel free to bring your latest project and tell us about it. There may be snacks involved, and we don't bite, unless you're a chip with salsa on it.
