Story in The Threepenny Review

My short story appears in the new issue of The Threepenny Review—turns out Martin Scorsese and I both have pieces in this one!

The piece, “Writeup for the Staffing Firm Newsletter,” started in a dream. I woke up in the middle of the night and recorded the opening lines into my phone, then wrote the entire first draft the next day, all into my Notes app. Each moment tumbled out on its own.

So grateful to Editor Wendy Lesser for her care. And delighted this piece found such a wonderful home. Emoji

Prose Poem in Bayou Magazine

I’m delighted to share that my prose poem “The Council” appears in Bayou Magazine‘s inaugural online issue. This piece is a satirical, surreal take on institutional bureaucracy: coffins for chairs, snails as metaphors, and the strange rituals of committee life.

Huge thanks to Carolyn Hembree and the Bayou team for giving this piece a home, and for launching their first online issue with such care and vision.
