He has translated poetry and prose from the German and translated Wolfgang Hilbig’s novella Die Weiber for his master’s thesis in 1990 at UT Austin. His short stories were published in numerous small press magazines in the mid 1990s, and his novella One Punk Summer was published in 1993 and reprinted in 2021.

Deanna Roy
“What horror to face, to choose the moment of your child’s death, to see the machines whir to a stop, the monitors to beep, the line of the heartbeat to go flat. No one really recovers from that. It must be easier to harden your heart, close the recesses of pain, and live life more simply and with calm deliberation.”
Deanna Roy, Baby Dust
