Curiosity has a way
of becoming a life.

Poetry. Language. Books. People. Places.

I’m a writer and publisher, and a collector of things worth wondering about. My work moves between books, language, translation, and the ideas that turn into interesting projects.

The writing here has followed me through coffeehouses in Seoul, desert races and mountain paths. Some pieces became books. Others are still finding their way.

A few threads through the work

Poet. Publisher.
Still curious.

At Exile Press, the work stretches across language, poetry, children’s books and culture. In translation, it means staying close to another voice. In my own writing, it often means following a question a little farther than I meant to.

This is a place for those books, stories, adventures, and unfinished possibilities.

A curiosity to share?

Writing, ghostwriting, publishing, or wondering what a book could become—there may be a conversation worth having.
