PAST
  • I used to edit TAGVVERK, alongside Barrett White.

  • I’ve also led occasional workshops for small groups and instititions, online and in-person, often centered on somatics, public space, and collaborative writing modalities. Former clients/collaborators include The Walker Art Center, Field Experience, and Coffee House Press.
