This, All This was the first “real” essay I ever wrote. It started as a blog post about a day out hunting with my dad and became an article when my uncle suggested sending it to a friend he had at Backcountry. I couldn’t believe it was real when I first held it. You can buy the issue here.

I wrote Hunter for the first ever graduate-level class I took. I owe a lot to that class—I learned so much, and it showed me the place that I really belonged (with my writing community). On the suggestion of my professor, I submitted it to Riverteeth and got the acceptance when I was in Safeway (I cried!). You can read it here.

2019 was not an easy year for me—I was struggling with some significant anxiety and an insistent low-grade depression, while also becoming deeply fascinated by herons. You can read my essay about it in Herons on Entropy.
