Being a poet & an athletic dude who loves sports, is a trip. Sometimes I just want to talk about plate approach, & 99% of you on my TL are like “What’s the meaning of life???” “Death is encroaching” “Cut the comma?” “Cancel the unicorn!” 🙄 This is what you look like to my son & I. Chillllll…

Yes! The whole Venmo thing works but is a little awkward

Looking to take on another client or two. My rates are fair and turn around time is solid. Just had a great time working w/Matthew Feinstein and his beautiful book.

A couple days ago, I found out Quiver was long listed (top 20) for the Kate Tufts. This comes on the heals of being named a finalist for the California Book Award. The 18 months this book has had is pretty incredible.

Next: Distributary.

*First post/bluey/skylette(?)*

A Slow Indwelling is now available !!

Sean Thomas Dougherty calls it a “polyvocal tome that pushes against pain and replaces it with a tender musical testament.”

It’s available to purchase here: www.smallharborpublishing.com/books/a-slow...

More soon,
