Floored to be reading with these two powerhouses in Santa Cruz! Come out.

Looking to take on another client or two. My rates are fair and turn around time is solid. Just had a great time working w/Matthew Feinstein and his beautiful book.

Billy Bob Thornton was at my reading last night 👀

A poem for boys & boyhood & time’s disruption of it. A poem of hurt & longing & loss. S/O to @poetrydaily.bsky.social for the feature.
