The first book of poems I put together was titled Muse, Use Us. It did not survive scrutiny.
In the late aughts and early tens, I wrote the first versions of Cosmosis and Word Problems. Then I worked on them for years.
In 2014, I put together a manuscript titled Kinder Garden. It evolved into one titled Salve Age.
In 2018, I wrote a chapbook, Tremblem. A small number of copies were printed. They exist as secret items.
Then came my oddest ball, 196 (fourteen squared) concatenated, ersatz sonnets, in a manuscript named Stuck-On-Its.
As of late 2025, this year of public errors and private trials, Cosmosis and Word Problems exist as printable objects.
I think of these two collections as bookends in conversation with one another, across found time and space between them.
Currently, I’m working on a manuscript called Nearvous. I also have schemes for a new chapbook, Nepenthes.
I’d love to find Salve Age a literary home. And Nearvous, as well, once it’s finished.
It’s been a long, slow run (nikko nikko ranningu) and a labor of intensely idiosyncratic love, finding and keeping these books.
“The error is not to fall but to fall from no height.”
Together with my co-heteronymous friend, Veno Creg, I’ve also co-written three vigilante prose works under the alias, Lance Tier.
These are challenging texts, the first a dialogue of overlapping annotations, the middle a condensation of continuous script, and the last a parley of one-liners. All explore the electric potential of anticipation and the responsibilities of response.
PDFs of the three texts are linked below:
For anyone interested in an aesthetic luxury, I’ve assembled them into a hardcover art book titled Converge & Interlace.
