Here are a few short samples of my work: 

 

"The Hills of Ojców When I Was Small" was published in Maryland Literary Review in summer 2019. On the eve of Vladimir Mayakovsky’s 1927 visit to Warsaw, a Polish poet lies in bed with his lover and contemplates revolution (always a kind of loss).

​

"Perfection" is a short (two-paragraph) work of experimental fiction. It was published in Cola Literary Review (previously Yemassee) in summer 2022. If you're looking for a plot, skip this one.

​

"History and Class Consciousness in the Time of Coronavirus" was published in The Summerset Review in spring 2020. It's a love letter to my library.
