Impossible Archetype was the first place to pick up one of my poems. This was a huge burst of confidence for someone who’d been writing their entire life but had never been published. They then included me in five more issues over the years. IA will be greatly missed but the archive will live on!

It was the first time that this city had been featured on national news, but no one wanted to speak. The damage spoke for itself. It was as if the building were run through a mandoline slicer—caved-in ceilings, exposed pipe, and criss-crossing metal frames that held up nothing.
