I write poetry, short fiction, journalism, literary and cultural criticism, ad copy and hypertext. I'm also the muckraker behind AdPulp, an advertising industry blog, and I keep tabs on the music scene at Leftover Cheese. A native Nebraskan, I now live in Bluffton, SC, between Hilton Head Island and Savannah.
