NEW BOOK PREORDERS
my new collection Laterals is now open for preorders
I like to describe these poems as “sports adjacent” — there is sports in every poem but they’re about understanding the self through sports

Shared this on some other sites so should do it here too.
I have a new book coming out later this year. It’s a collection of what I call “sports-adjacent” poems, poems that use sports & fandom to explore the self, fatherhood, etc, etc.
Here’s the cover. It’s called Laterals.
