About Me

Associate Editor of the Iowa Review Web - NOT the Iowa Review - and currently editing the upcoming issue on Sound (art). I live in, but can't wait to leave, Iowa. I should also mention that the opinions expressed in luminations do not reflect those of the Iowa Review Web or, necessarily, of the editorial decisions I make for the web publication.

The love potion you made tastes terrible. How will you drink it?
