Dispatches from the right side of my brain.
Christmas Among the Beasts: This satirical example of the hard-boiled private eye genre was written early in 2006. (It's really short: about a page and a half.) The story was inspired by the tradition of television crime shows having special “Christmas episodes.” Also available in PDF format.
Missing Katie: A little girl is missing. And her parents are missing her terribly. Both parents equally so, though only one of them has ever seen her in person … so far, at least. This story is thirty-two pages long, in the form of a PDF file formatted for USA-standard paper.
Do Not Use Ladder: this poem was “co-written” by my friend Caroline Eastman (principal author) and me. My part of the writing was done in May 2010. It is a set of instructions from a ladder manufacturer, admonishing the purchaser against several ill-considered ways in which one might otherwise use their product.
Don't Know Much About Deuteronomy: I wrote this poem in June of 2006, just after “retiring” from my last real job.
Economic Downturn Blues: good advice for bad times. I wrote this poem some time between 1999 and 2002.
On Looking: this poem was drafted way back when I was a graduate student, then revised in 2009 and 2010. It is about observing things “from the outside.”
Signs and Portents: this poem, written early in 2009, was my way of telling myself that it was time to give up on a lost cause and move on.
