I really wish Appalachian Journal and As the Crow Flies contributors (and potential contributors) could see the happy dances and hear the "oohs" and "ahhs" when I read y'all's work. Seriously. I'd post video, but I'd embarrass myself.
Had such a fun time at the ETSU Literary Festival yesterday (which was also Earth Day--hooray)! So wonderful to hear amazing works by emerging student writers alongside Nickole Brown, Rose McLarney, and Juan Martinez!
Hey friends, I just learned that the upcoming print issue of North Carolina Literary Review with a special section on NC military writing is in press and will be out next month.
Planning to see Ron Rash at Huzzah! tonight at 7, but he was in conversation with Jesse Graves and later read as well. Thanks so much to all the folks for their hard work in bringing us together for literature. It was great to see old friends and put faces and voices to new ones!
Look at this beautiful cover, friends! The spring edition of Appalachian Journal should be hitting mailboxes beginning next week.
My spouse on my lack of brevity in writing (and life, really): "You're like the Grateful Dead of academia. Here, listen to this 25-minute guitar solo, except that solo is a footnote." 🤣

This is an issue you won't want to miss, and not just because I have an award-winning essay in it on the Vietnam War memoir of Lumbee Marine Delano Cummings (with tons of insights from Carla Locklear and René Locklear White). See the press release here: nclr.ecu.edu/2026/05/15/2...
Big news, friends! My new chapbook, Disposable, is now available for pre-order from Sheila-Na-Gig editions! HUGE thanks to Hayley Mitchell Haugen for her support and to Julia WD Harrison for the phenomenal cover art. sheilanagigblog.com/shop-sheila-...
