Book Review to be added in Summer 2023.

(Picture by Paulo Nunes dos Santos for The New York Times)

A short story written in 2016.

Fire jolts through the logs of wood and the dried weeds behind us. Gases arise, flush through the furnace, mingle and spark. And steam. We breathe.

Written in 2019.

If nothing else is available, a cow will lick a dead carcass for salt.

A story for and from a great friend, written in 2020.

I picture the first bug breaking through, mandibles dripping, a small black head of excitement, and looking around. I am a new world. A solid just waiting to be chopped into pieces.
