Huge scandal that Minneapolis has been crawling with terrorists this whole time. They've been living among us undercover as poets and nurses. And would've continued to, had it not been for the work of our bravest child kidnappers

A small professional announcement.

I continue to look for opportunities to critically review forthcoming books BUT my main 2026 project is helping put Eugene, Oregon on the book tour map.

I’m boarding an early Amtrak but let me just say, @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social was a delight!
I had a blast, and I know the audience was thrilled to get to hear him talk and meet him at the signing.
Thank you, Hodgepodge in Eugene!

I had a really tough time with the world today. I opted to go out into the pollinator garden I have created and watch the bees feast.
Felt so much better.
