Description
When I was starting my MFA, a guy in one of the older cohorts had already published several collections of poetry and was in the program to focus on his other writing skills. He said, “For my thesis, I’ll be writing a book of non-poetry.” Everyone laughed, but the idea stuck with me. It had never occurred to me before that comment that we separate prose between truth and fiction, but with poetry we don’t: it’s an entirely new way to look at both truth and fiction.
This collection brings together some of my previously published short fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry.
