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 Portland, Oregon and have recently begun covering my 'hood for The Oregonian.
