Here’s one of two poems recently published in The Banyan Review. The poem is about my daughter, but it’s really about me.

Thanks to editor Juan Pablo Mobili for his thoughtful, smart, precise suggestions.

Please check out the 2024 spring issue in the comment section. (1/2)

🧵 thread: how i write with a full-time job (like: if you were actually asking, this is what i'd actually tell you)

1. i write when i can. this means i look at my schedule with a sense of realism and actually look at the time i have available to write. i can't multitask writing.

Our store is a joint venture of two local presses, @rarebirdlit and @unnamedpress. They’ve joined forces to create a neighborhood bookstore that is also a home for independent publishing here in LA!

While we will still be publishing two pieces next week up on the website, the editors who are managing our social media accounts will be out of town so our social media will likely not be updated for the next two weeks, but keep checking our website for new work next week!

"These were the days
when fathers waited outside
while mothers gave birth inside,
and I imagine him
with the cup of coffee
that was always in his hands
staring out at the rain"

"He knew I could no longer live in my skin. My feelings
for the body, for the soul of that boy
forced Saturn to descend from the heavens." - Ricardo Moran, When Saturn Came Home

"The girls would sit
relaxed and non-chalant
leaning on one hip
right knee slung over left
arms crossed at the elbows.
They would lounge so
not unlike splendid iguanas
basking on rocks,
their slow lazy speech
recounting buoyant weekends."

"all his secrets
on a thursday night
drunk & upset
until he found himself
sunk & burnt"
