As a lifelong writer, I believe that a life is expanded by the art of careful observation. I try to tap into this daily — sometimes as an on-the-spot typewriter poet, sometimes as a podcaster and essayist, and always as a person who stands in many lines and waits for many trains.

listen to the pod

My best friend Hannah Monsour and I co-host Poking Around, a poetry/comedy podcast that weaves the funny, ridiculous and absurd together in our weekly hour-long episodes. The content is always based on — and working toward — poems, while aiming primarily to make you laugh.
