My poem "Extinction (I)," part of the Spitsbergen cycle inspired by my Arctic Circle residency, is runner-up for the Sandy Crimmins Poetry Prize. It will appear in the spring 2017 issue of Philadelphia Stories.
I've been drawing a lot, and a couple of my political cartoons just went viral. Which is bizarre. I've set up the I Drew a Thing Facebook page if you want to follow that sort of thing; there's also the decidedly less political Forgiveness Monster Tumblr. At some point I'll have to create a proper website and print shop, but this is about all I can handle at present.
