A while ago, I started a newsletter to write about comics that had caught my eye; some older, some newer. I think — knock on wood — it’s on something of a regular schedule right now, and here are a couple of recent editions: And if you like what you see there, you can subscribe

In case anyone’s been wondering… Just finished some edits and tweaks to the new edition of Transitory that 7.13 Books will be publishing in the coming months. I’m told that a cover is in the works, and hope to have more news there before long. I’m giving the manuscript of In the Sight another pass

I drove out to Montclair this week to see a screening of the documentary We Were Famous, You Don’t Remember: The Embarrassment. Full disclosure: I’m not entirely objective on this film, as I’ve known co-director Daniel Fetherston for twenty-odd years and contributed to the film’s Kickstarter campaign.

I’ve been to see live music twice in the last week. (Claire Rousay and FUJI||||||||||TA tonight at National Sawdust; Powers/Rolin Duo at Union Pool last Friday.)

Currently in Seattle, a trip which not coincidentally coincides with this year’s AWP. It’s my first time out here since 2019, and brings to an end the longest stretch I’ve gone without a trip to Washington or Oregon in ages. All of which is to say, it’s nice to be back out here for a
