  • Poetry + a few other publication updates

    I haven’t updated in a while – this semester has been really rough. Meanwhile, a few publication news: My poems “Divinatory” and “The Fear Tree” appeared in the inaugural issue of The Sycorax Journal. My poem “archival testimony fragments/minersong” will be reprinted in Best of Uncanny Magazine from Subterranean Press. My poem “The little mouse elder” was…

  • Catching up on various publishing news

    I’m behind on pretty much everything, including my publishing news – some of which are rapidly becoming “olds!” Sorry about that. But – better late than never. My SF short story “How to Remember to Forget to Remember the Old War” (originally published in Lightspeed’s Queers Destroy Science Fiction) will be reprinted in the Sunspot…

  • GOATS!

    As I mentioned on Twitter, I have been hiding. I was in a fairly bad car accident three weeks ago, and am recovering from a concussion. I don’t know why a concussion (and as a result, losing my car) ultimately cheered me up – but I concluded that I do rather enjoy being alive, I’m…

    I have wonderful news to share with you today.

  • Birdverse Podcast!

    On the Birdverse Patreon, I have been experimenting with new stretch goals. The first of those is the Birdverse podcast, in which I will answer questions from readers (patrons get priority in the queue, but all are welcome to ask questions)! Once we reach $150 a month, the podcast will become a free, monthly feature.…

  • Reviews and thoughts, March edition

    ICFA concluded today. I was not there, but hope to be next year. I heard it was a great con, and I heard that my poetry book Marginalia to Stone Bird was mentioned, as a Crawford finalist. Still really honored by this. I do not know if the timing was accidental or not, but Ada Hoffmann featured…

  • Glassmaker and Jeweler story tile

    Uncanny Magazine made this beautiful story tile for my Birdverse short story from the January/February 2016 issue, “The Desert Glassmaker and the Jeweler of Berevyar“. I just love this. This story is eligible for Nebula, Hugo, and World Fantasy in the short story category.
