What are you working on?
I think a more appropriate question would be what
aren’t I working on. I currently am working on promoting my first collection, beyond rock bottom and my second collection out February 15 2019,
forget-me-not. There are two other chapbooks that are currently undergoing the process of submission. A creative nonfiction I wrote is scheduled for publication in
Philadelphia Stories this Spring. I finished the first draft of a very queer, very noir fiction book I co-wrote and am working on revisions. I’m submitting poetry like crazy, drowning under piles and piles of rejections, and desperately trying to… well, get out there.
