Poetry
Poetry
David is currently working on a collection of new poems. They come in batches of five or six at a time. He feels his muse stirring so the words should be flowing relatively soon: it's his process.
Short-Fiction
Short-Fiction
David plans to start working on his fourth piece of short-fiction the beginning of 2019. The first three pieces he ever wrote, "Roadkill," "Windows," and "When Blood Wants Blood," were published in 2018, so he is motivated to keep the momentum going.

Despite a case of crippling social anxiety, David participated in his first poetry slam and other public appearances in 2019. Not sure what 2020 holds.
