Two things:

First: new story, “Temporary Fixes,” in the new issue of Palooka. Give it a whirl, if you’re so inclined. Many thanks to Jonathan and Nic for all their editorial assistance 

Second: off to MFAland at North Carolina State University in a scant few days. Looking forward to working with the grad students and faculty there—the ones I’ve met have been awesome, in the Milton sense of the word.   

So now: we are under heat waves, and I am surrounded by boxes. Rented trucks, long interstate voyages, fast food wrappers: I will know you all soon enough.

Also: possibly it’s been the heat (?) or perhaps my out-of-control Hoarders addiction, but this has been a sad, lonely blog of late. I intend to change that, even if it’s just posts about Hoarders.

“Hoarders and the Literary Dialectic: Pathways through the Pile” NEXT.
