“All actual life is encounter.”
-Martin Buber
I write to encounter life more fully. This is a collection of lyric essays, fairytales, book & film reviews, and the occasional poem on topics like modern masculinity, narrative bereavement, rational faith, and belly button surgery. Welcome!

I care about masculinity, fairytales, collaborative conflict, LOTR, ethical comedy, mental wellness, great books and films, the Tetons, and living better stories together. Also, I want to be Dick Van Dyke when I grow up.
