I love this concept for a folio: unpublished poems you removed from your forthcoming book. For me, that was "All Night I Stare at the TV Screen." I wrote it after weeks watching & reading about 'Jennifer Fairgate' & the strange phenomenon of fixating on the deaths of strangers.

You know so far I've had 3 books come out, and I've had dozens of reviews published, and I've even been lucky enough to have received some really thoughtful reviews of my books...but I think this is the first time I've ever seen a review of my work IN a book.

Always an absolute pleasure to review some poetry for @malahatreview.bsky.social, spend some time with @zoewhittall.bsky.social's work, and muse about the porous genre boundaries of poetry. Here are some excerpts from my review of No Credit River from @bookhugpress.bsky.social.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.
