Feeling the Love in Los Angeles
I had such a fantastic time in Los Angeles this past week for AWP. I want to thank Jamie Iredell for organizing and hosting the Future Tense anniversary reading at AWP. I also want to thank Justin Maurer for putting me up at his homestead again and for setting up the great Future Tense off-site…

What the Heck Am I Doing?
Well, I was planning on laying low this summer, but after updating my Events page, I realize I am actually pretty dang busy. Go check it out.

I’m a Busy Man, Man!
That’s what the Atticus Review says anyhow.

It’s List Time Again
It’s that time of year when a bunch of year-end lists start popping up everywhere and I’m glad to say that A Common Pornography has landed on a couple of them. Every year–especially now in the 21st century–there are so many books published, so I feel fortunate and grateful to people who liked my book…

Road Trip/Tour Diary Wrap-up: Atlanta
Hey y’all, I’m back in Portland. Our last few days on the road were great. We got into Atlanta on Thursday just in time to return our rental car without getting a late charge. I wasn’t so sure we’d make it since we started out from a cheap hotel in Hamilton, Alabama that morning. While…
