Inhabiting the rich borderland between poetry and prose, these stories combine compression and narrative in a form that, author Dana Wall says, “effectively captures the compressed intensity of war.”

A lyrical flash

A dive into the surrealism of my new book of translations, then a writing prompt

On interviewing our own work

On creative detours

On mindless living, breaking rules, and Rick Rubin’s art as confrontation

On transforming the world into shapes in painting and poetry

Personal observations on AI-assisted content, an award, a workshop fiasco, and a writing prompt

What I learned from 3 years of staring at blank canvas

On flirty poems, a sonnet by Denis Johnson, and Edward Hopper

How not to write a boring poem & a prompt

On privacy and censoring oneself

On creativity and desire

On Atlanta, the Adriatic, and poetry; on tuning into the world, and turning it on
