About

Welcome. Sit down. You’re in my kitchen, may I get you something to drink? Here’s what I can feed you with, the everything I’ve been working on. I’m a poet/writer/artist sort and live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

While working as Eddie Kilowatt I released two poetry books, Manifest Density and Carrying a Knife in to the Gunfight. Density was included in Best New Poetry of 2006 and Gunfight received the Carma Writer’s Award. Both were released on my indy press Full Contact Publishing.

I’m also a regular contributor of poetry, contemporary literature, and segments having nothing to do with writing to Lake Effect on Milwaukee’s NPR station 89.7 WUWM. This is also where I curate The Lunch Counter storytelling series. Past appearances get archived here for future listening.

From November 2011-April 2012 I’ll be the Narrator (writer in residence) at Milwaukee’s “Grand Hotel of the West,” The Pfister. To follow my writing and recording adventures while working there, visit here.

Right now I’m working on a couple different poetry books, each taking overtly different directions. Dialogue poems, history poems, longer storytelling poems…

Between typing I like to ride motorcycles and backpack into the middle of nowhere and find the strangest employment.

I also maintain a weblog of sudden photography at Sudden Snaps.
