"I don't know how to be poz," a poem written in response to my HIV diagnosis in 2020, has been published in the Michigan Quarterly Review Mixtape series under the theme of RAGE.
​
"Ghost Boys: A Bricolage," an essay from Wolf Act, has been featured in Black Warrior Review's new issue, 50.2. It's an essay about a lot of things—relationships, sexuality, dating apps, HIV, divorce, ghosts—but it’s mostly about how we come alive.

The cover is here! Such beautiful work done by Jeremy Parker and University of Wisconsin Press. I couldn't have asked for a better team to help me bring this book to life.
