Reading at Civitella Ranieri

Here is a reading I gave in a castle in Italy in May:

Prolit and Recenter

Two new online journals, Prolit and Recenter, both based in Philly, have published some of my poems, which you can read here and here. Thanks to Patrick Blagrave and thanks to Terra Olvr.

Day Jobs

Writer and professor Mike Ingram has a great podcast called Day Jobs in which he talks to artists about making art and making a living. He interviewed me recently about adjuncting, labor organizing, higher education, various jobs and the ways people think about work. You can listen to our conversation here.
