Red Skies Interview
My interview with the students of ENG 422 at Salem State University about The Paper Coast was just published in Red Skies, the online literary magazine of Salem State.

If you’re interested in hearing me talk about Naropa University, Kiese Lamon, Borges, basketball, and biscuits, check it out!
