From the Gunroom is a funny, weird, gut-punching collection of poems that tells the story of a family’s gun-cultured demise, and every word is drawn from an old gun manual.

Dear FutureOccupants is about a family rising to subversive glory in a 1970s genteel New England town after starting a bogus vending machine sandwich/drug-dealing business. Told through the perspectives of Bud, the patriarch, Victor, the middle son, and Herman, the ahead-of-their time non-binary eldest whose found documents serve as a kind of Greek Chorus, Dear Future Occupants is a wild, poignantly humorous ride, exploring themes of family, sexuality, and addiction.
