Eson Kim did an amazing job putting together this podcast discussing the creative writing workshop. Highly recommended for anyone who has taken or is planning to take a creative writing class.
A lot of instructors at GrubStreet, including myself, contributed to this important and insightful discussion about what it means to be a good workshop citizen, among other relevant topics.
The Back Porch Collective is back!
Hello, Boston friends, the Back Porch Collective is doing another reading, again with some exceptional musicians, and again at the city’s coolest cafe/gallery, The Middle Gray. This time we’ll be focusing on home and place as a theme. The event is on Saturday, June 18th, at 7:30 p.m.
Mark your calendars, tell your friends, and come join us for a special night of art, food, and drinks!
Sandra Castillo, a Cuban poet who lives in Miami, wrote this wonderful online post about my poetry chapbook in the Miami Herald website. I am grateful for such a generous recommendation of my work!

And In The Land of Tropical Martyrs has gone into a 2nd print run, now a beautiful, perfect bound book. Huge thanks to editor Crystal Simone Smith and BackBone Press!
I’m excited to be teaching another Master Fiction workshop at GrubStreet this summer.

Happy to have a short story, titled “The Comforter,” in the latest issue of Southern Humanities Review!
Some great authors and poets also have work in it, including Kirstin Valdez Quade, Natalie Diaz, Jericho Brown, and Rachel Eliza Griffiths.
I originally workshopped this piece, which is set in Cuba, during my MFA years, and I’m grateful to all the people who offered helpful feedback to make it the story it is today.
So, my first session for the Muse & the Marketplace conference, Keep the Narrative Going: Effective Methods to Provide Context in Fiction, is already full. Therefore, a second session has been added for Saturday, April 30th at 10:45am.

I’m really looking forward to the conference!
I put together a little write up about the relationship between creative writing and cinema, and how writers might benefit from watching classic and foreign films.
Big thanks to the folks at GrubStreet for including it in their blog, Grub Daily!
