The Poet for Hire Gets The Story

For years, I worked in journalism.  First in college, then briefly as a stringer for The Woonsocket Call, a paper local to my hometown.  Living in Boston, I struggled to find a journalistic outlet and had a nice run in the small press before the internet overtook both the large and small presses.  I hope to someday have a foothold back in the journalism world, but until then, here's a selection from the past, with more to come.

Artist Profiles

Big thanks to Scott Heflon of Lollipop magazine for not only having given me one of my earliest shots but also keeping my work online after all this time.

My first issue had profiles on Ben "Death Weasel" Jones and James Kochalka.

Ben Jones led to my big piece on Consumer Defense Corporate Poet Rich Mackin!

Politics

For six months, I highlighted the Church of Euthanasia and their various political infiltrations, culminating in one of my largest pieces ever.  The article is on the Church's very Not Safe For Work website, but you can read it on my blog here.  Includes slight editorial changes and additional photos never used.
