About

In The Land of the Lotus Eaters is an account of my life as a writer, midwestern transplant, and MFA student in Riverside, California.  As often as this blog will be about my life, I’ll also do off-the-cuff book reviews, ramble about music, and occasionally gift you with my vast writing knowledge.  The title is a Tennyson/Hank Moody reference– I walk a thin line of loathing modernity and embracing it.  Makes things interesting.

You’ll note too that this website as a whole is serving as a platform for myself on the internet.  There are links and lists of publications, contact information, excerpts of my work, and eventually flashier accoutrements like virtual bookshelves.
