I’ve just seen preliminary sketches for the cover of “I Was A Teenage Anti-Fascist” and I can say it’s going to an amazing cover when finished…😁 Preorders are still available at @badhandbooks.bsky.social! This collection is set for 2026 release. badhandbooks.com/preorders/i-...

I saw a sneak peek of the cover (this is not it). This will be out Spring 2026 with Crooked Lane Books, distributed by Penguin Random House. This is my next fairy tale novel adaptation, a sequel to Peter & Wendy. Also, it’s my first novel not based in Chicago. It takes place in London in 1915.

Coming this September from Hippocampus Press… cover reveal info will follow at a later date. This poetry collection will be a wild fever dream wrapped in 14 epic poetic cycles. Think Ginsberg meets Lovecraft meets Dante… I’m very excited for folks to read this book.

So, 2026 is going to be a pretty crazy year for poetry books. I have at least 3 books planned for release. Unannounced Collection Neurotica: Poems @shortwavebooks.bsky.social I Was A Teenage Anti-Fascist @badhandbooks.bsky.social Be prepared to see me post a lot more than I normally do in 2026.

This was a nice little surprise. “Tiny Oblivions and Mutual Self Destructions” has been nominated for the Science Fiction and Fantasy Poetry Association -SFPA Elgin Award! Thank you to the SFPA and to Raw Dog Screaming Press for giving this book a home.

Had an absolutely wonderful dinner last night with Lindy Ryan and her husband at Ocean Club! Planning to go down to the Columbus Book Festival later today to see friends and fellow authors. 🙂

In addition to everything… I started outlining a new poetry collection titled “Therapy for Anxious Gay Jewish Men” (yes, you read that correctly) and I’m three chapters into a new Jewish sci-fi dystopian novella. Sometimes the words just keep coming and you have to let them spill out.

Vaguebook: Very grateful for every opportunity to create. Received a message with an invitation to write a poem for what’s going to be a pretty strange anthology (strange in the best way possible). More news when I can share!
