First Draft
(formerly known as azarinotsorry)

In between semesters of my MFA in Poetry, the last thing I want to do is write poems. So I write essays. Some of them I squirrel away and edit and obsess over and vandalize an Excel Sheet with publications I want to home it at. Others I write in one (or twenty) breaths and just want to put out into the world—a dish on the dinner table. (Or, in some cases, I try to home at publications, but can’t, and home them here—dishes no one at the dinner party really wanted to eat and I end up taking home and eating for lunch for a week.)

Most of the essays here are just spell-checked, if that. Hence: First Draft.

I don’t charge for subscriptions because right now I just want to write and I want you to read it. If you like what I write and want others to read it, forward an email of mine to a friend, ask them to sign up. Leave me a nice comment. Tell me how your day was. Drop a line via my website or socials. Ya know. Little things.
