Susana’s Jaguar
Two performers, Asun Noales and Sebastian Rowisnki,
stand in a circle of small jaguar heads.
The heads are sculpted from pearl-white plastic
by an artist named Susana Guerrero.
The heads are perfectly identical.
Their mouths stretch agape, as if caught mid-roar.
Beyond rows of jagged teeth,
each throat swells with inky black.

To me, the story said, whatever you think you know about the rules of life, forget it, ain’t necessarily true."
A Cure for “Best of” Hell: The Best of Short Things
It’s that time of year again. The late capitalist clusterfuck some call the holiday season. Or, as literary folks know it, “Best Of” Hell.
Something Wicked This Way Comes
My love affair with monsters can be traced to my eccentric childhood, of course.
Interview with Olga Zilberbourg
I am very interested in writing about those moments when people judge each other, exploring how people’s judgments of others reflect on their own character and understanding.
