PUB DAY!
I wrote some prose poems during COVID. Those poems became a time capsule. The time capsule, a book. Thanks to @HubCityPress for believing in this weird little mixtape.

Thanks for all the pub day love! It's cool knowing Junah is out in the world, and that (with a little luck) it'll find the right folks. If you end up reading it, please do drop a line. It's the most personal thing I've ever written, and I'd love to hear it stirred up for you.
My first novel is up for pre-order. Much love and thanks if you can swing it: hubcity.org/books/fiction/ju…
