Variations on the Sun (August, 2024)
It has been nearly 13 years since I wrote my first self-contained "book," titled VARIATIONS ON THE SUN and published in 2012 by the no longer extant LOVE SYMBOL PRESS. It was initially published in an edition of 50 IIRC, and then there was maybe an ebook I never saw (so it maybe was just the pdf that the book was printed from?). It grew a small cult following via GoodReads. It is one of the only works I have never republished.
A long and arduous chain of events have put me in the mindset where I am thinking about the Midwest, and VARIATIONS ON THE SUN is, in many ways, the most "Midwestern" book I have written. Initially conceived of with a suite of full color photographs (all shot in the Midwest) when the book was going to print a decision was made to print the book in black & white instead of color to make it more financially accessible. I ended up having to change a lot of the images out b/c the original choices just did not reproduce well in Black and White. This resulted in a number of (then) more recent photographs making their way into the book, which were shot in California instead of Illinois or Indiana.
Because of my HEADSPACE I have decided it would be fun to print a new edition of the book, restoring the original image line-up and printing in full color. It will be a handmade edition printed in my 'studio,' assembled via japanese stab binding, collated and trimmed by hand. As such, it will not be a giant edition, and can instead be considered an art edition variant of the original, long OOP book.

Institutional Scissiparity (December, 2023)
A new chapbook featuring an original story and photographs. The work was written after I had a dream of hidden flora in an underground cave while In the waking world I was immersed in a study of the work of Carol Christian Poell. I was particularly taken by descriptions left by forum user "runner," which extrapolated the work of Poell in a way that felt simultaneously esoteric and also fully graspable to my sensibilities. This insistent aura is what I hold on to in his work, and what I hope to communicate in this chapbook.
The experimental narrative is a highly pornographic account of an anonymous researcher's visit to a coastal institute once dedicated to experiential aspects of the Human Potential Movement. It is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
