I’m fascinated by

the creative process, how

we can shape it to
systematically challenge
our impulses and
help us to produce
better and better work.

As a UX designer, I follow
an iterative, data-driven
process to generate
and refine digital products
that solve real problems
for users and can
positively impact their lives.

And as a poet, I’ve
developed a process in
which I manipulate the text of
my rough drafts with
translation software, then
collage the pieces together
into surreal new work.

I live in the weird,
wonderful state
of Rhode Island, where
I manage communications for
Brown University's
interdisciplinary Cogut
Institute for the Humanities.

I’ve published two books
of poems thus far:
The Primitive Observatory,
which won Crab Orchard
Review’s first book
award, and The Ceremonial
Armor of the Impostor.

Recent writing
experiments include a long
magnetic poem about
a minotaur living in
a subway and an ongoing
erasure of Hall Caine’s 1890
novel The Bondman.
