Received his MFA in poetry in 1999 from Wichita State University, where
he studied under the talented but overexposed Albert Goldbarth, the
talented and personable Bruce Bond, and the talented and underappreciated
Jeanine Hathaway. His publications include the Santa Barbara Review,
and several issues of Mikrokosmos. His thesis was titled Smash
and Grab, which sums up his editorial style:
Picasso's assertion that 'good artists borrow; great artists
steal' has influenced me immensely. Contemporary poetry is the cheapest
form of rip- off-the literary equivalent to a smash-and-grab robbery-and
should have the guts to be aware of what it is. The last thing I want
to see is some lame-ass workshop poem that takes itself so seriously
that it fails to realize that it's just another derivative workshop
poem. When it's almost all been done, we should at least have fun in
the re-doing.
