I spent five years at Chicago Review, a literary quarterly, where I worked my way up the masthead from poetry staff to managing editor to editor, and eased myself back down again as editor-at-large.
In 2006 I launched digital emunction; in the years since it has become a group blog that traffics heavily in poetry and politics and lightly in just about everything else.
Photography is a favorite avocation. I keep a portfolio of photos here.
Still curious? Check my CV or better yet, send me an email.
I am a writer and editor living in Seattle.
My fiction, poetry, essays, and reviews have been published in Poetry, Slate, Bookforum, Narrative, BRAND, Chicago Magazine, and The Cultural Society, among other places. (I keep a running list here.)
This is--deo volente--my final year as a doctoral candidate at the University of Chicago. I'm ever so slowly and ever so surely finishing up a dissertation on Dante.
Other current projects include a log cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains and a novel about an anthropologist in South America, an excerpt of which will be published by Narrative later this year.
