On this page is a rolling feed of some of my creative output. Look to the “Published things” or “Writing scraps” pages for a quick rundown of what is here.

After visiting Ukraine in the summer of 2024 I tried to capture something of that trip by combining my writing with analogue photos I took while in Odesa. I am so grateful to Natalie at the Indianapolis Review for publishing the result. You can read it here.

2025 is the year of photographic experimentation. I have learned how to use a dark room and begun experimenting with altering and degrading the photos I make and print. I am very grateful to Mia at the Field Project Zine for publishing two examples of these efforts.

The Zine can be read here. The two photos I submitted are immediately above this post. In making them I was inspired by the daily process of forgetting dreams, imagining if dreams left physical traces behind them in the morning light.

I translated the first chapter of Misha Zakharov’s debut novel Doramaroman. Writing with sensitivity and intelligence, Misha combines film review, essay, and memoir to examine himself, the society he grew up in, and his queerness. This extract is the first step on that journey. Read here.

In February 2025 I had the pleasure of reviewing How Fire Descends, a poetry collection by the Ukrainian poet Serhiy Zhadan, translated by Virlana Tkacz and Wanda Phipps. Read here.

Here too is a review of Stanislav Aseyev’s The Torture Camp on Paradise Street (translated by Nina Murray and Zenia Tompkins). Written in February 2024
