As a freelance writer, editor, librarian, educator and designer, I have more than a decade of experience in making literature (in all its manifestations) more comprehensible and more accessible not only to specialist constituencies but also to the public at-large. I possess a thorough understanding of knowledge's "life-cycle": how, through the written word, knowledge is created, framed, disseminated, discovered, interpreted, organized, preserved and—most critically—utilized so as to create new knowledge. Most importantly, I am committed to sharing this understanding by giving others as many opportunites as possible participate in that same process.
I have a Master's Degree in Library and Information Science (MLS) from the University Of North Texas and a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Writing from the California Institute Of The Arts.
My writings on music and experimental sound practice have appeared in Copper Press, Paris Transatlantic Magazine, One Final Note and Bagatellen, for which I served as Editor-In-Chief from 2003 to 2005. My literary criticism has been published in Electronic Book Review and The Dallas Morning News, and my fiction and poetry may be read in the pages of Chronometry (an anthology), In Posse Review, Tea Party, Drunken Boat, Black Clock, Antennae, Everyday Genius and elsewhere. I have new work forthcoming in Compost, textsound and the Jaded Ibis Press anthology The Dirty Fabulous.
I live and work in Dallas, TX, with occasional forays into and throughout Los Angeles, CA. I am the proprietor and editor of Imipolex Press, a co-founder of the interdisciplinary arts organization Strophe, a co-editor of the online journal [out of nothing], an Assistant Managing Editor for Black Clock, an Associate Faculty member in the Humanities at Collin College, and the Director Of Community Education and Outreach at The Writer's Garret.
