David's first feature-length collection of poetry and prose Indelible Fingerprints was accepted for publication at Alien Buddha Press March 2019 and published April 3, 2019. His second and third books of poetry Blood Honey and Cold Comfort House were published at Anxiety Press was published January and March of 2022, respectively. David's fourth book--an illustrated collection of micro poems--is a creative collaboration with Luca Bowles (a.k.a. Mambo) from the UK and will be published at @RLYSRSLIT in February 2023. His fifth collection of poetry Blind Turns in the Kitchen Sink is scheduled for a July 2023 release at Anxiety Press. David is also working on his sixth poetry collection Red Berries, spanning work between the years 2018 to now with original pieces that have not been published. He is also diving "head first" into short-story writing that will mostly encompass oeuvres of dirty realism and the surreal.
David's main goal for 2023 is to launch The Argyle, a literary magazine that will feature poetry, fiction, essays, and interviews for folks who LOVE good writing without the literary snobbery or the rigid aesthetics. Target date for the release will be Spring 2023. He currently serves as Assistant Poetry Editor at The Temz Review.
