about this author

I'm the author of two full length poetry books, Complex Sleep (Iowa 2007: Kuhl House Poets series) and Invisible Bride (LSU 2004: Walt Whitman Award), and one chapbook, World Jelly (Effing 2005).

Currently, I'm working on a Ph.D. at Duke University; my focus is on American modernism, as well as the relation of (new) media and poetics.

I was a founding editor, with Zachary Schomburg, of Octopus Magazine: http://www.octopusmagazine.com

Currently, I edit the online literary journal Fascicle: http://www.fascicle.com
