Too often it is as if it doesn’t matter if it is already familiar to us. We appear to believe we needn’t take care of that which is hemmed in by civilization, as though it’s too late to care.

Hey-- I'll be doing a short book tour next week, reading from my book New Construction. It collects expanded versions of my short stories Backyard and Household, now with over 50 pages of new material; it's kind of a companion volume to my last book, It Never Happened Again. Will post more details about all these as they happen but basically:

Sept. 19-20 I'll be at  SPX, table J11

Sept. 22 (Tues) I'll be at WORD Brooklyn w/ Cathy Johnson (Jeremiah) and Kevin Czap (Fütchi Perf)

Sept. 25 (Fri) I'll be at Drawn+Quarterly in Montreal

Sept 26 (Sat) I'll be at The Central w/ Michael DeForge. If you're in any of these cities it'd be great to see you! And I'll also be doing some west coast readings in November. Thanks to Uncivilized Books and Alex Berry for helping put this tour together.
