poet, writer, translator, and traveler
I just got word today that my sci-fi short story “Rewrites” is going to be included in the Singapore anthology Fish Eats Lion. It was a lot of fun writing the story, and I am pleased it is going to be included in the anthology. And to top it all off, Jason Lundberg has been a top-notch editor to work with.
What more could you ask for?
My essay “Deep Pockets, Shallow Lives” appeared this past week in the online magazine Xenith. It’s a “fragmented essay,” and it’s a piece that I have a real soft spot for.
Over the years, I’ve had a couple of other pieces appear in Xenith, including another fragmented essay and a translation of an anonymous Chinese poem. Those two are also works that I have a real soft spot for — it looks like I’m seeing a theme for those pieces accepted at Xenith.
It’s always great to find a magazine that resonates for you, that seems to be a good fit for your own writing. Xenith is exactly that sort of publication for me. I hope you’ll pop by and see what all they’ve got going on there too. Maybe you’ll find you like it as much as I do.
