Catching Days

is a blog about writing, reading, and life--how they meld, clash, and astonish. It's a net for catching days.

One of my stories …

"The Empty Armchair" in Contrary Magazine

One of my essays …

"Not Every Sentence Can Be Great But Every Sentence Must Be Good" at Brevity

One of my reviews …

Heather Newton's Under The Mercy Trees in Contrary Magazine and republished by the National Book Critics Circle on Powell's Books Review-a-Day

Catching Days is

one of POWELL'S BOOKS
“Lit Blogs We Love”
