Checking the mail today, my neighbor called me over. "Want to see my oyster shucking knives?"

"Yeah, let's see them," I said.

If anyone has questions, I'll relay them to my neighbor.

Trying to get to AWP this year and this is the travel paperwork I've put together for my university. This used to be a whole tree.

On the way back to Auburn, I decided to drive through Monroeville, the "Literary Capitol of Alabama." I'll have to make time to stop one day.

My new short story in Asimov's. I never really know what ideas are going to stick, but when they stick it's the happiest feeling in the world.

Olga Ravn is incredible. MY WORK is one of the most honest books I've read in a long time.
