I have a story in the new issue of Midwestern Gothic

Midwestern Gothic is a 200+ page quarterly journal of fiction and poetry.

They published a story by me called "Calling Back Home", which is about urban sprawl, violence, drugs, militarism, and masculinity in the early 21st century.


ALSO

I started an art/lit magazine.

It is called KeepThis Bag AwayFromChildren.

CHECKITOUT.

(I will be devoting a longer blog post specifically to it in the near future)

Bulk Culture

I have been contributing to Bulk Culture.

I plan to contribute there 1-2 a week.

So far I have been writing about deli meat.

I think I will write about random things that end up in my pockets.

I think I will also write about deli cheese.

I think I will write about running.

I think I will write about music and movies and tv and art and sports and food (other than deli food).

You should check that site daily.

It can be your life.

It should be your life.

Adam Humphreies and Ana C. and Jordan Castro and Shaun Gannon and Noah Cicero and Scott McClanahan and  Mike Bushnell and some other peeps have been killing it over there.

If for some reason you think I am great and you just want to read me, then you click on the tab to your left, under non-fiction, which says "@ Bulk Culture" and then you will only see the things that I write.

I also should have a new essay up on The Nervous Breakdown sometime this week. I am trying to write about one post a month there.

If Bulk Culture isn't your life, then TNB should be your life.

On a related note, I have been digging Brad Listi's Other People Podcast. I don't listen to some of them because I am too unfamiliar with the authors, but I have listened to the ones with Megan Boyle, and Roxanne Gay, and Ben Marcus, and a few others.  Really good stuff.
