Terranexus in the Rust Belt

New article up at Belt Magazine, showing how my friend David K. Leff’s philosophy can help us think about the less grand spaces between nature and civilization.

Many New Publications

I’ve had several new publications recently, including “Fallen Tree to Fire: Long-term Thinking in a Crisis,” at the Good Men Project, my usual reviews and votes for Connecticut’s Top Restaurants 2025 in Connecticut Magazine, and my article about David K. Leff’s last hike on Mount Monadnock in the winter issue of Appalachia. I have several more to come over the next few months, including ones in Poor Yorick and Estuary. I also signed a book contract, so more to come about that in the future!
