Welcome

I write, edit, design, and shoot photographs. At Princeton University, I manage communications and projects for the Department of English.

Selected Creative and Critical Writing

For some years now, in my personal writing time I’ve been immersing myself in a novel manuscript and written no short stories, no poems, no essays or reviews. The pieces linked to here epitomize ways that I wrote in years before and what I felt compelled to write of then, what occurred to me and I decided was worth pursuing.

“All the Summers Ahead” was a finalist for New Letters‘ Alexander Patterson Cappon Prize for Fiction and is featured on Longform.

“Barnegat Bay,” was edited by Matthew Salesses, who, after reading his Craft in the Real World, I suspect appreciated things in it that I didn’t know I was doing.

“Guns in the Family” came all in one go in searing shock after the Sandy Hook shooting and was selected for publication by Roxanne Gay, then editor of The Rumpus.
