about this author

edit data

Author of two poetry collections, Musee Mechanique (BlazeVOX, 2006) and Rouge State (Pavement Saw, 2003). Once wrote an expensive study of I.A. Richards in China. I live in Portland, OR where I help curate The Tangent Reading Series with Kaia Sand and Jules Boykoff. www.thetangentpress.org/readin...

I think it's awful to have to rate books among friends on a point 'n' click five-star system, so I give everything a five, but also a "review."
