Journalism, essays, fiction and poems, 2012 to 2026. The pieces themselves, by outlet, with a link to each one.
Before the Sunday essays, I wrote for newspapers, magazines and literary journals: books and culture for the Los Angeles Times and LA Weekly, criticism for Salon and Slate, memoir for Narratively. Where a page has gone dark, the link goes to its copy on the Internet Archive.
Links go to each publication; nothing here is reprinted. The essays from the same years live in the blog archive.
Subscribers read every essay first.
I write one essay a week — family, AI, and the ordinary week, looked at hard — and send it Sunday morning, before it’s on the site.
Thank you — you’re on the list. The next essay arrives Sunday morning.
