Contrapuntos XI

I don’t write enough of these updates with my teaching schedule and all that. I’m currently up at Skidmore College, diving into a three-week intensive Poetry & Fiction course (7 hours of class time a day) for gifted youth.

While I was in the thick of metaphor, personification, and scene tension, I discovered the publisher of the multi-lingual literary journal Contrapuntos has enabled pre-orders. In the magazine, you’ll find a cadre of insightful and gripping narratives along with poetry.

There, you’ll also discover my story “Breathe,” which explores the need to find purpose when we have nothing, framed around a dystopian near-future.
