Hello and welcome!

But I believe something meaningful can be made of our most disappointing moments of longing and grief—plus bonus points for anything funny—which is what I hope to bring to you.

Why subscribe?

From my own little corner, here in Queens, New York, I invite you to reflect on nature, the various relationships that fill our lives, and how the things we collect—and can’t let go of—express who we are.

All subscribers get:

 Weekly posts that have been described as “a hug when you need it most” and “like a hot cup of coffee for the soul.” These will include a variety of micro essays and flash fiction, exquisite mini-excerpts from contemporary novels and story collections you’ll want to add to your TBR pile, and snippets of association to songs running the gamut of genre and era.

 You’ll be the first to hear of publication news and upcoming events. And by way of thanks, you’ll receive an exclusive link to “Collecting,” a short essay about my early compulsions.

For $30—the equivalent of buying a hardcover book a year—paid subscribers also get: 

• The chance to support independent writing and my work.
