“I gave this story a perfect score and wrote, “This story is the whole package—beautifully, beautifully done” in my scoring notes. Generally I’m not a fan of the macabre, but while shown without flinching here, it’s embraced in serenity, with love and respect. Clear details tell the story. The writing voice flows like a soft floral dress — graceful, strong, elegant, exquisite. It infuses the story with a wonderful dimension of dignity and triumph.”

“A Liminal Creature”, Interview on “The Maggot” for Spectrum Literary Journal (2022)

“From stagecoaches to climate change riots, "The Maggot" follows the development of an American town as it expands, withers, collapses, and transforms over the course of several hundred years, all alongside a giant maggot. As the ocean mist dissipates in the midday heat, Nash and I discuss second-person narration, eco-anxiety, and the constant state of evolution that characterizes communities everywhere.”
