My non-fiction has appeared in On Being, Guernica, The Catholic Worker, and is forthcoming in Sojourners magazine, and my fiction in Cold Mountain Review. My photography and paintings have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, On Being, and The Passporte. I’ve completed several large scale (and many small scale!) painting commissions, shown my work in various spaces such Lighthouse Writers, Artwork Network gallery in Denver, and participated in several community-oriented auctions. I received my MFA in Fiction at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and was awarded the Swan Fellowship at the Vermont Studio Center for an interdisciplinary artist.
I’ve been teaching college English comp, literature, and creative writing since 2018; sometimes I take headshots for people, especially artists and writers; when time allows, I paint. And I’ve been working on a linked collection of stories inspired by people I’ve known in the extended homeless community.
I currently—and hopefully always will—live in Sugar Hill, Harlem. I spend most of my time walking my dog Butter up and down Edgecombe Avenue.
