Haibun is one of my favorite ways to tell a story. The dense, vivid sensory details, the immersion in environment, the care paid to fine detail, & then that surprise & deepening at the end—so good. 

My haibun “Parking Lot, Deception Pass,” originally published in Moonchild Magazine, is up today at The Last Word On Nothing. You can read it here.

An exciting announcement: I am now a contributor to the group science writing blog The Last Word on Nothing. If you are a science writer, you know why this is a big deal. If you aren't: trust me. It is. 

I'll be sharing my science poems, essays, and other work over there every few weeks. My first post—a new-old poem about birds and evolution and learning hard lessons—is here. 

You can sign up for weekly blog updates here and follow LWON on Facebook and Twitter. (It's always a good read; I recommend it.)
