for Newton knew the mysticism of music and mathematics, the alchemy of seven seven notes and seven wonders, seven sacred luminaries circling a single sun, a kaleidoscope of reason, with indigo blue shoehorned in....| The Good Life Review
This collection of poems is a generous embodiment, like a tribal elder narrative, an evocation and invitation. Through the examples of family we experience in his poems, we are invited to consider our place in the community—invited to listen, learn, observe, and to hope society moves toward acceptance, equality, value, and integrity in our country’s own evolving identity...| The Good Life Review
I never write anything hoping to elicit a certain reaction or emotion. That's not why I make art. And once something is published, I no longer have control over the response. But even though this piece is based on my own personal memories, experiences, and obsessions, I do hope that other people will find it relatable in some visceral way...| The Good Life Review
she has a plan. she parks her bike and buys a bag of potato chips. she gets back on, crosses down to main street, to the ice cream place. it’s a jumble of fenced-in water pumps now, but when she walks up it’s the ice cream place, pink and white. she buys a vanilla cone...| The Good Life Review
I titled the poem “if” as an encouragement for readers to invite wonder into their own lives. By asking “if,” you’re really asking yourself to imagine a catalog of possibilities, a set of potentials that exercises your mind, your creativity, and your ability to dream.

When Mr. Boppo walked through the classroom door in that MFA fiction workshop, I saw him as an actual clown who challenges the main character, Evan, as an ambiguous kind of antagonist who also represents many things to Evan who is struggling at that moment. I encourage readers to create their own interpretations of my writing, but I definitely know what Mr. Boppo means to me, even if Evan can't see it until the end...| The Good Life Review
I always thought that I was too much of an overwriter to be any good at flash fiction. It sometimes takes me 200 words just to clear my throat. And my writing in no way resembles the prose-poemy lyricism of the best flash stories. But I’ve found that I love being able to come up with an idea, then write a first draft that might indulge my proclivity for excess, then pare that down to get to the heart of the story and the characters...| The Good Life Review
