My short story "The Smoke of the Land Went Up" is in @GuernicaMag today. It's got sex, drugs, pedicabbing, a landscaping convention, and lots of dread. Huge thanks to editors @autumn_watts, @adalva, and Ishita Marwah for getting this out into the world. guernicamag.com/the-smoke-of-t…
A while back, I wrote an essay as an attempt to speak to a relative who died before I was born. Here it is, with thanks to the editors, in @redividermag 22.2: redivider.emerson.edu/invocations-of…
Our new spring issue is live! Full of many great pieces—learn some lessons in smoking, or maybe take a look at past and future exhibits at the mutter museum. Or, read about the house that’s taken over. #WritingCommunity
