Poetry, Literature, and Writing
I'm originally from International Falls, MN and I graduated from Gustavus the year of the tornado before entering the Peace Corps (Papua New Guinea '99-'01). I enjoy reading and writing poetry and have been doing so for quite a while. My poems have been recently published or are forthcoming in Gulf Coast, Natural Bridge, MARGIE, Cimarron Review, Dislocate, and New York Quarterly and my chapbook (Fingergun, 2006) is available from Kitchen Press. I participated in The Loft Mentor Series in '06-'07, was awarded a SASE/Jerome Grant in '08, and completed an Emerging Artist residency at The Anderson Center in Red Wing during the month of August, '08.
