A specific kind of magic is conjured when you read a poem out loud. It changes the shape of things, remaking the rhythm and texture of the words. It creates something new.
Enjoy this reading of my poem New Year, performed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
This poem is published in The Body Book .
I’m excited to share that my original sci-fi pilot, ALTERED, is one of the Launch Pad Top 50 Pilots for 2021.

This is huge news!!! My original pilot script ALTERED won the screenplay competition at the Austin Other Worlds FIlm Festival.
Here is what Other Worlds Founder and Artistic Director Bears Rebecca Fonté had to say:
“ALTERED joins a catalog of great projects that have passed through Other Worlds’ orbit since we launched the festival. This last year we had the privilege to screen both a former Screenplay winner and a Grant recipient. ALTERED continues our tradition of using a SciFi backdrop as a launching point for telling a compelling human story. I literally forgot I was reading it as I flipped pages. Someone please get this made.”
It’s a huge honor to win a sci-fi competition with this script. I am so grateful!

My script ALTERED won the one-hour category in the 2019 WeScreenplay Television Pilot awards!
ALTERED is an original sci-fi thriller. Here is more about the script:
In a world where humans have evolved dangerous new abilities, and anyone too powerful is rounded up and eliminated, a reclusive crime scene analyst hides the extent of his power. His secret comes under threat when a grisly murder forces him to work closely with the victim’s sister to unravel the unusual circumstances of the killing.

Woweee wow!!! It's really here! You can order THE BODY BOOK right now!
This is a collection of short stories and poems all themed around the the body. Each chapter is comprised of several pieces of writing—some by individual authors, some written by several writers in collaboration—grouped by a thematic connection to a specific part of the body. Some of the connections are fairly literal, while others are more abstract; the “Blood” chapter includes a gory story called Mr. Bricks, but it also includes one called Bloodline, in which the narrator reflects on his genetic inheritance.
I was the co-editor of this collection, and two of my pieces — Slope and New Year — appear in the book. I am so excited for you to hold it in your hands!
