Periodicaled : Unsaid

...

   Embarrassingly late in reporting this one: Unsaid recently published my interview with Kamby Bolongo Mean River author, Robert Lopez. You can read that thisaway. Blaming my Johnny-come-lately syndrome on the winter doldrums, though also an all-consuming fascination with Antarctica, which creates a kind of mental snow blindness. 

   In other Unsaid news, the release of their brobdingnagian new issue is nearly here. Pre-orders are being taken. A list of contributors in circulation. My story, "Fatal Accidents, Not Necessarily Complete" will be in there, among many, many other fine displays of word dissidence. Thrilled and humbled to be a part of the conspiracy.

Periodicaled: Hoarse

...

   The fine folks at Hoarse have accepted some writing of mine for their upcoming professor-themed issue. The piece is called "Norming" and is inspired by the instructions that often precede standardized tests. A release party will be happening this Sunday at the College Inn Pub from 11am to 4pm. I should be there, alongside many other tweed-and-pipe-trimmed folks. More info is thisaway.
