“… [THE PITT] doesn't much bother capturing the vibe of Pittsburgh – nobody, including Wyle, even attempts the city's unique "yinz"-er accent.” I might have tuned in just to hear Noah Wyle’s Pittsburghese.

I was listening to WDVE, in my freshman-year dorm at CMU, when I heard John Lennon had been shot & then that he was dead. Amid the grief and dismay of that day, I remember thinking: Well, he had already done so much, he had a full life, he was 40! (I was not yet 18.)

I read ANTKIND a few years ago and had to stop probably three or four times because I thought I might have lost my mind. Now I miss that feeling. I’m still chasing it.

I have a new visual essay in The Iowa Review. Thank you so much to the staff at TIR and to anyone who ever set eyes on this in its early stages. My dad’s reaction when I showed him the cover: “See, this is why I need to save all my old junk.”
