| Introduction | Enjoying irony in his aesthetics as much as the next guy but usually preferring the earnest view. A reader. A fashioner of poems. A displaced Southerner raised by Yankees and living in the Mid-West. A brother. A friend. A husband. An ex-hopeless-romantic; a former Arkansan pining away for the Clinton days. My writing has appeared in or is forthcoming from Bruiser Review, CutBank, Main Street Rag, Matter, Mid-American Review, New Zoo Poetry Review, Pleiades, and Tar River Poetry. |
