I.

For me, what sets
poetry apart is how
it breaks up the page
and moves the eye
in ways that give
shape to the worlds
I create with words.

Similarly, I love
how design gives
visual, functional
shape to ideas and
processes that reflect
our values and help
us meet our needs.

As new technology
hijacks human life,
I see poetry and
design as critical for
lighting up the mind
and fostering genuine
human engagement.

II.

I live in the weird,
wonderful state of
Rhode Island, where
I write and design
for a humanities
research institute at
Brown University.

I’ve published two
books of fantastical
poems, including The
Primitive Observatory,
which won a first
book award from
Crab Orchard Review.

Among my recent
writing experiments
are a long magnetic
poem about a minotaur
and a book-length
erasure of the Victorian
novel The Bondman.
