Bio
Writing for the sake of writing. I love bizarrely niche essays, fiction and recently, poetry. Not a professional - yet.

Self-Made Man
When you grow into adulthood without the role of a father figure, one often discovers there are lessons that need teaching; things like how to patch up a hole in the plaster wall before moving out of a rented space, things like which IPA to order at a bar. Things like how to shave, how to win a fight, or how to engage in small talk with men who transiently appear in your life about the football game last night. How to feel strong, how to be strong, how to pretend that you’re strong when you’re not, how to not be strong at all — lessons that would do well to be imparted by a father figure.

Writer's Block
Deafening is the whirring from the electric fan positioned before me. It's too damn hot. Sweat beads at my forehead as I try to write this poem, the closeness of heat suffocating my sinuses and stunting my fingertips poised fruitlessly at my keyboard.

6 Steps to Preemptive GriefRunner-Up in Sensational Challenge
1. I hear the things that you say. You speak of wrongdoings, of social decay, you’re lording morality, ethics that fray. A spiel of your politics, spoken in grief, you tell me you’re desperate for broken relief.
